double whole rest

The whole rest or semibreve rest is also a rectangular musical shape. These rests hang down from the fourth line of the staff and likewise measures half the length of the fourth space. Whole rests are analogous to whole notes. Like the whole note, the whole rest lasts for a length of four beats in a 4/4 time signature.

A breve is a musical note which lasts 8 beats. It has twice the value of the semibreve (4 beats). It is the longest single note value. In the American terminology it is known as a double whole note.

The double whole rest is twice the duration of the whole rest, four times the duration of the half rest, eight times the duration of the quarter rest, sixteen times the duration of the eighth rest, thirty-two times the duration of the sixteenth rest, sixty-four times the duration of the thirty-second rest, 128 times ...

A double whole note is commonly represented by a hollow oval note head, like a whole note, with one or two vertical lines on either side. A double whole note is the second-longest note value still in use in modern music.

4 beats It hangs below the line. A whole rest gets 4 beats, just like the whole note. We can recognize the whole rest by the fact that it hangs below the line. We can remember this by thinking that it is so heavy, with a full four beats, that it hangs below.

Well here we have an eighth note so he's done. But now there's a dot beside that eighth. So the dot is always half the value of the notice besides. So what's half of an eight it's a sixteenth.

So to add to add to add to equals eight a brief. The brief rest looks like this. If we place it on the stave. Notice.

8 quarter notes Double Whole Note (Breve) This is known as a Double Whole note in the US. The double whole note (breve) divides into 2 whole notes (semibreves) following the pattern of the other notes in the Rhythm Tree. The Double Whole note (Breve) is therefore worth 8 quarter notes (crotchets).

The first bar is completely filled up by one single note, the double whole note indeed, which lasts for eight beats as indicated by the 8 numbers positioned below the corresponding bar. That's why we say that a double whole note or breve has a value or duration of 8 beats.

I was taught that a whole note gets four beats - all the time. A whole rest (hanging from the second line), on the other hand, gets as many beats as there are in the measure. A half rest always lasts two beats. The only exception to this rule is the rare occasion when a piece is written in 4/2 time.

The two-note grace note is also known as a double appoggiatura, the three-note grace note as a triple appoggiatura, and so on. But this name can be misleading, since these are almost never played on the beat, like the regular appoggiatura is. Instead, they are played in a “crushed” manner, like the acciaccatura.

A whole note is always worth the value of 4 quarter notes. If you are in a time signature where the quarter note gets the beat... (for example: 2/4, 3/4, or 4/4 time - the bottom number dictates the type of note value that gets one beat), then a whole note would be four beats.
