Quavers

A Quaver is a musical note played for one eighth the duration of a whole note, lasting half as long as a crotchet, or quarter note. They are also known as eighth notes in American terminology.

History

The term Quaver comes from the now obsolete verb quave, meaning 'to shake or tremble'. It has been used to describe these musical notes since at least the 16th century.

Notation

In music notation, a quaver is represented by a filled-in oval note head and a straight note stem with one flag. A series of quavers in a melody or rhythm are typically joined together with a beam rather than separate flags.

Usage

Quavers are used in a variety of musical genres, from classical music to pop music and jazz. They are often used to add complexity and variety to a rhythm.
