The 'Hierarchy' of Musical Notes

These are the most common notes used in music. The quarter note is a standard note. A half note is worth two quarter notes and a whole note is worth four quarter notes! The smaller notes are the eighth and sixteenth notes. An eighth note is half the value of a quarter note and the a sixteenth note is half of an eighth note (and thereby a quarter of a quarter note).

If that didn't make sense right off the bat, then read it again. You can always post with comments and questions if you need further explanation!
