I believe you mean "crotchet" which is a British musical term for quarter note. In 4/4 (common) time it receives one beat.


quaver = eighth note; semi-quaver = sixteenth note.

minims = half notes (two crochets); semibreves = whole-notes (four crotchets)

Fyi, in music, rests are worth as much as the correlating note. So if in 4/4 time, crotchet notes are worth 1 beat, and so are crotchet rests.

If you are in 4/4 time/ common time, a dotted crotchet rest (or quarter rest) is worth one and a half beats.

A dot adds half of the note or rest's origional value. So if a crotchet rest/quarter rest is worth one beat, the dotted crotchet rest/ quarter rest is worth one and a half (1.5) beats.

But be careful! If you are not in 4/4 time, the number of beats it is worth (but not the value when compared to other notes) will probably change!

A crotchet represents one beat, but the composer sets the length of that beat, whether it is slow or fast.

There is one beat. A crotchet (whether it is a note or a rest) always lasts for one beat (providing the time signature is crotchet-based).

A crotchet rest is silence for one beat.
