The names of the notes will help you to understand the relationship between the note values. Each succeeding note value is half as long as the previous note value. A half note is 2 beats, which is twice as fast as a whole note. A quarter note is 1 beat, which is twice as fast as a half note. And, an eighth note is 1/2 a beat, which is twice as fast as a quarter note and so on.
