An eighth note (if the measure is in 4/4 time), because each measure gets 4 beats, therefore 1 beat is a quarter measure ergo, a quarter note. Half of a quarter is an eighth, therefore a half beat is an eighth note.

an eighth note which is half of one beat or count in 4/4 time
Note values are measured based on their duration relative to a whole note, which typically represents four beats in common time. Each type of note, such as a half note, quarter note, or eighth note, has a specific value: a half note is worth two beats, a quarter note one beat, and an eighth note half a beat. These values help musicians understand how long to hold each note when performing music. Additionally, rests have corresponding values that indicate silence for the same durations.
The time signature. The top note is how many beats in a measure, the bottom is what type of note gets a beat. For example, 4/4: four notes in the measure, quarter notes gets a beat.
In short, it means there are two beats in each measure and the half note gets one beat. 2/2 is simply a different way of notating cut-time.
Yes and no. Commonly, a quarter note gets one beat, an eighth note gets half, and a sixteenth note gets one fourth of a beat (4-4 time). Occasionally, a song will be in 4-8 or 2-8 time, then the quarter note gets two beats, the eighth note gets one, and the sixteenth note gets half a beat. That help?
An eighth note gets half a beat
In 3/4 time, a quarter note gets one beat. A half note gets two beats, and a dotted half note gets the entire three beats of a measure.
a half note gets two beats. Because a whole note is 4 beats usually that means half of that is two beats.
usually a half noteA half note gets 2 beats if you are in a 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, etc. If you are in an 8 pattern time signature, a quarter note gets two beats.
Two beats out of four. Hence the name half note! :P
In 2/4 time, an eight note gets half a beat. (A quarter note gets one.)
A dotted quarter note. (One beat for the quarter note and half a beat for the dot.)
An eighth note (if the measure is in 4/4 time), because each measure gets 4 beats, therefore 1 beat is a quarter measure ergo, a quarter note. Half of a quarter is an eighth, therefore a half beat is an eighth note.
Those two notes equal a dotted eighth note. In terms of beats, (assuming common time) then the eighth note gets a half a beat and the sixteenth note gets a quarter of a beat, so the two of them together get 3/4 of a beat.
a dotted half note gets three beats. a "dot" adds half of the value of the note...for example half the value of a half note is one beat...so add that to the half note to get 3 beats
In 6/8 time, the eighth note gets the beat.
