Question

what values are the equivalent of a whole note (in common/simple time we'll get to compound time a bit later

Answer 1

Whole note is 4 beats but can you explain it to me more?

Answer 2

A whole note is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we talk about musical concepts, the term whole note refers to the one that has the longest time value, which in this case is equivalent to four beats (4/4 time.) It is also called "a semibreve." So, in other words, the equivalence of a whole note is the same as two half notes and four quarter notes, and so on.
