Question

how many beats crochet has

Answer 1

Explanation:

On the crotchet, you count to one. On the minim, you count to two. On the semibreve, you count to four. (You might also hear people say that a crotchet gets one beat, a minim gets two beats and a semibreve gets four beats.)

Answer 2

Explanation:

I understand that a crochet is a 1 beat note, a quaver 1/2 a beat, Minim 2 beats and semibreave 4 beats. But the thing of all I find difficult to understand is the concept of how can a Minim last as long as 2 crochets or a minim lasting as long as 8 quavers or a semibreave lasting as long as 4 crochets
