In music, the value of notes is often described in terms of steady beats. Here’s how the different note values you mentioned correspond to steady beats:
- A (1/2): This represents a half note, which receives 2 beats.
- B (1/4): This represents a quarter note, which receives 1 beat.
- C (4): This is likely referring to a whole note, which receives 4 beats.
- D (8): This represents an eighth note, which receives 1/2 beat.
So, in terms of steady beats:
- A (half note) = 2 beats
- B (quarter note) = 1 beat
- C (whole note) = 4 beats
- D (eighth note) = 0.5 beats
If you're specifically asking about the eighth note (D), it has 1/2 of a steady beat.
