The quarter note is the third note; it looks like a filled-in half note, with the same stem attached. Now the design of the time signature makes full sense; in 4/4 time, the quarter note gets one full beat, and the measure has four beats before reaching the bar line!

Each quarter note represents one beat, so four notes lasting one beat each would be D.

The value of each note duration is always double the value that follows it: 1 Whole Note = 2 Half Notes. 1 Half Note = 2 Quarter Notes. 1 Quarter Note = 2 Eight Notes.

In the most common time signature, 4/4 time, also called common time, a whole note is held for four beats, a half note is held for two, and a quarter note lasts one beat. An eighth note lasts half a beat and a sixteenth note just a quarter of a beat in 4/4 time.

The top number of the time signature indicates how many beats are in a measure and the bottom number indicates the note value that gets a beat. The time signature appears at the beginning of a piece of music
