How many beats do all of the music notes get?
That depends. There are different types of notes, and each of them have different beats. If your time signature is 4/4, that means there are four crotchet beats per bar. A minim holds the value of two crotchet beats and a semitone is a note that is held for the whole bar. In 4/4, a minim is half of a semitone, a crotchet is half of a minim, a quaver is half of a crotchet, a semi quaver is half of a quaver, and a demi-semi quaver is half of a semi quaver. It's a simple pattern. The semitone is also a note that holds through the whole bar, regardless of the time signature. If the is a small next to a note, it means that you add on half of what the note is worth. For example, If you have a dotted minim, you would hold the note for 3 beats, since half of the minim is one beat, and you must add it to the original beats. If you have two quavers or semi quavers or any other quaver together, you can join their tails creating a beamed note
