Getting Notes Down Cold

The examples below show equal durations of lengths of time for Notes. The “ties” make the other notes combined to be of the same time count. Let’s do the math.

Quarter note math:

quarter-note-math

One Quarter note = Two 8th notes = one 8th note

and two 16th notes = 4 sixteenth notes.

Quarter note time – shown tied, each gets one beat and one clap:
