A minim, since 2 2 is a simple duple time signature.
The 4 8 time signature indicates that there a four beats per measure and each beat is an eighth note.
a quarter rest
a whole rest
The organization of notes in a composition or passage, with respect to time, in such a way that a regular pulse made up of beats can be perceived and the duration of each note can be measured in terms of these beats. The beats are grouped regularly into larger units called bars or measures. Metre is identified at the beginning of a composition, or at any point where it changes, by a time-signature.
It means there are 2 minim beats per bar.
A 4 on the bottom indicates that a quarter note gets one beat.
That depends: a quarter note receives 1 beat in 4/4 time but a 1/2 of a beat in 2/4 time. it depends on what time signature the music has. in 4/4 time though: quarter note: one beat half note: 2 beats eighth note: 1/2 a beat whole note: 4 beats
It depends what the time signature is; if the time signature is 4/4 then a note worth half a beat would be an eighth-note. If the time signature is in say 6/8, then half a beat would be a sixteenth-note. Usually music is in quarter beats, so most probably an eighth-note for you.
It could be the quarter note if the piece is slower, or the dotted-half in something faster (such as a waltz).
it gets 6/8 beats
The bottom note of a time signature determines the value of a beat. For example in 3/4 time (4 at the bottom:quarter note beats), a quarter note takes one beat. In 3/2 time (2 at bottom:half note beats), a quarter note takes half a beat.
The bottom number in a time signature is the denominator of the fraction denoting the note value that gets the beat. So if the bottom number in the time signature is a four, imagine it's the bottom of a fraction with a numerator of 1. 1/4 is a quarter, so the quarter note gets the beat.
an eighth note which is half of one beat or count in 4/4 time
The 4 8 time signature indicates that there a four beats per measure and each beat is an eighth note.
At simple time signatures, a quarter note takes one beat. In compound time signatures, a dotted quarter note is equal to one beat. In cut time or alla breve time, a single beat is a half note.
If the 4 is on the bottom, it means that a quarter note gets one beat.
The bottom number in a time signature is the denominator of the fraction denoting the note value that gets the beat. So if the bottom number in the time signature is a four, imagine it's the bottom of a fraction with a numerator of 1. 1/4 is a quarter, so the quarter note gets the beat.
