What kind of notes are in a measure and how many?
it depends on the time signature. if it's 4/4 then there are 4 beats per measure. it could be one whole note, two half notes, or four quarter notes - you could go on and on. it all depends on the time signature [amount of beats per measure] though.
What is the beat of half note?
The common duration is two beats.Most music has a "x/4" time signature that describes the quarter note as being one beat. A half note lasts twice as long as the quarter note; thus, two beats.In a 4/4 measure, a half note gets two beats. Think of a measure like a pie. In 4/4, a quarter note (the top four) is a single beat, and there are four beats in a measure (the bottom four). A half note is half of the pie, so it gets half of the four.It would likely be two beats wherever you are, as western musical notation is a uniform system. However, you would have to check the time signature to be sure. It is not impossible to run into signatures of 2/2 or 3/2, in which case a half-note (minim) is equal to one beat, with two or three beats per measure for the above examples.A half note has two beats in 4/4, 3/4, and 2/4 time.
