What are the commonly used notes and rests?

Common notes are whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, and sixteenth notes.

Rests include double rest, full rest, half rest, quarter rest, eighth rest, sixteenth rest, thirty-second rest, and sixty-fourth rest.

Extended information:

Different notes represent different durations. The durations represented by half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, and sixteenth notes are 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/16 of the whole note respectively.

If a note is followed by a dot, the note will be 1/2 longer than its undotted duration. Whole notes cannot be dotted.

Rests are marks used on music scores to mark a temporary pause or stillness in the music and the length of the pause. The use of rests can create different emotional expressions in musical phrases. Rests are named mainly according to the length of the pause.
