Did you know that math is a part of music? When a musician wants to play a note, he needs to know how long that note should last. Some notes will be played for a long time, others for a short time. In order to know how long to play each note, each note can be drawn as a special symbol.
A whole note is the longest note, and can be divided into two parts, each called a half note. In the same way, each half note can be divided into two quarter notes. All the notes can be divided into two other notes, as you can see in the next image. The following video will help you understand the idea.
