It’s pretty easy to understand too... one quarter note is two 8th notes, so it gets "1 +". The half note is really four eighth notes so it get "2 + 3 +". And the each 8th note get a half so one is "4" and the other is the "and" of 4. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

This makes sense because the 4/4 time signature means there is <b>4 quarter notes per measure</b>. 2 quarter notes + 1 half note (which is really 2 quarters) = 4 quarter notes, the total number of quarter notes for that measure (time sig).<o:p></o:p></span></div><span style="font-family: "Segoe Print"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span><br />

Each eight note is 1/2 of a quarter note, therefore it takes <b>2</b> eighth notes to equal <b>1</b> quarter note.<br />
Think of it like this: the <b>1</b> and the <b>"and"</b> are both half of one quarter note and together they form 1 quarter note and from the time sig we know there are 4 quarters per measure. <br />
<br />
This may seem a little confusing now, but all of the sudden it will click. You will hit yourself in the head and wonder how you never understood it.</span></div></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />

Connecting together the flags of eighth and sixteenth notes is called a beam. It simply means pairing up the notes so there isn’t a big long stream of individual notes. They would be hard to read, but instead, by grouping the notes they are much easier to read.<br />
