In music, a "minim" is a note played half as long as a whole note. Where a "crochet" is a note played one quarter of a whole note (or seimbreve).
Crochet and semibreve are the UK names for notes of different lengths. There are four crochets (quarter notes, in the US) in a semibreve (whole note).
In music thenotes are split in to 4 main lengths, the largest of which is a minim. Next there are crochets, then quavers, then semiquavers (there are also demi-semiquavers but they are uncommon). There are:4 semiquavers in a quaver4 quavers in a crochet4 crochets in a minimSo, to answer you question, a minim rest can be counted as 4 crochets, 8 quavers or 16 semiquavers. The exact length each note lasts really depends on the speed of the piece you're playing.
There is 4. Hence is it also referred to as a Quarter Note.
8 crochets
There are four crochets in a semibreve.
it equals a quarter note because 2 sixteenth notes equal an eight note so 4 sixteenth notes would equal a quarter note.
2 Crochets - 2 whole beats
A half note
A dot beside the note adds one half of the note value to itself. For instance, in 4/4 time a half note equals 2 beats, but with a dot beside the note it would become equal to 3 beats. Another example is a whole note in 4/4 time. The whole note would be equal to 4 beats, but with a dot, it would become equal to 6 beats.
A whole note.
4 beats
