In common time: Whole notes and rests = 4 beats Dotted half notes and rests = 3 beats Half notes and rests = 2 beats Dotted quarter notes and rests = 1 1/2 beats Quarter notes and rests = 1 beat Eighth notes and rests = 1/2 beat Sixteenth notes and rests = 1/4 beat Values change as the bottom number of the time signature changes
In a regular 4/4 time signature, a whole rest gets four beats of rests.
The Two Beat Rest symbol looks like a black filled in rectangle standing on a line. This rest looks much like the four beat rest which is a filled in rectangle hanging on a line. So you must not be confused with both of those rests.
it really depends on the time signature, but in 4/4 a whole rest gets four beats of rests
The dot next to a note increases its length by half of its original length. For example, the dotted half note. The dot increases the half note's length by half of its original length (which is 2 quarter beats) so the dotted half note is worth 3 quarter beats. It also works on rests. This also applies to other instruments.
