Re: help notes and rests

One way of remembering semibreve (whole note) and minim (half note) rests is "Semibreve is suspended, minim is mounted".

Here's a list of note (duration) names from both sides of the Atlantic:

U.K. ...............................U.S.

Semibreve...........................Whole note
Minim...............................Half note
Crotchet............................Quarter note
Quaver..............................Eighth note
Semiquaver..........................16th note
Demisemiquaver......................32th(?) note
Hemidemisemiquaver..................64th note
