A note value indicates the duration or length of time a note is played in music. It is represented by different note symbols, such as whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, and so on. Each type of note value tells the musician how long to hold the note relative to the piece's time signature. For example, in common time (4/4), a whole note lasts for four beats, a half note lasts for two beats, and a quarter note lasts for one beat. Note values help musicians understand the rhythm and timing of a piece of music.
