first of all, 4 quarter notes? four half notes? anyway, to answer your question, if one measure receives 4 quarter notes, it would be like this....

4 beats in a measure: 4

quarter note gets one beat: 4

So the bottom number is what type of note gets one beat, and the top number states how many beats in one measure.

Does each bar equal two crotchets in value?

The total value of a bar (a "measure") of music is dependent on its time signature. The time signature is written at the beginning of a piece of music as two numbers, one on top of the other.In the case of a 4/4 time signature, the total value is equal to 4 (the top number) beats per measure, with each beat being equal to a crotchet (the bottom number). The end result is that four crotchets (quarter notes) will fill up one measure.In the case of a 2/4 time signature, the total value is equal to 2 beats per measure, with each beat equal to the crotchet. The result is that two crotches will fill up one measure.And in the case of a 3/8 time signature, the total value is equal to 3 beats per measure, with each beat equal to a quaver (eighth note). The result is that eight quavers will fill up one measure.

A whole note last as long as how much quarter notes?

That's a fair question if you're unfamiliar with music notation. But it's a simple asnwer: Quarter notes are just that - quarters. So a whole note is equal to four quarter notes. Keep in mind that the meter - or time signature - in the music determines the number of beats per measure, and which note is equal to one beat, so one whole note is not necessarily equal to one whole measure. In 4/4 time, it is, since that indicates that there are four beats per measure, and a quarter note equals one beat. There is also one whole note per measure in 2/2 time, as there are two beats per measure, and a half note gets one beat. However, if the time signature is 4/2, there would be two whole notes per measure, since there are four beats per measure, and a half note gets one beat. The top number indicates the number of beats per measure, and the bottom number indicates which note equals one beat: 1=whole note, 2=half note, 4=quarter note, etc. The time signature combined with the tempo (beats per minute) tells the musician how fast to play the notes.

Here are a few basic terms: Piano - quiet Mezzo-piano - medium quiet Mezzo-forte - medium loud Forte - loud Staccato - short Legato - smooth, like a singing voice Tempo - the speed of the beat Bar/measure - A segment of time determined by the time signature. Each bar has the same number of beats. Key Signature - the number of sharps and flats in a piece Time Signature - the top number indicates how many beats there are per measure. The bottom number indicates which type of note (half note, quarter note, eighth note, etc..) is equal to one beat
