Notes are made up of a durations, or beats. The top note shown below is a whole note and gets 4 beats. It is broke up into two half notes that both get 2 beats each. The half note is broke into a quarter note which gets 1 beat. So if you tap your foot, a quarter note counts for each time you tap. Next is the 8th note and it takes two 8th notes to equal a quarter note. Finally, it takes two 16th notes to equal an 8th note, or four 16th notes to equal a quarter note. This chart below shows a great representation of these durations.
