There are 2 components to musical notes in written music:- 1) Pitch (the height of the notes on a music staff); and 2) Note duration (how long the note is held). Pitch is identified by the letter name of the notes and how high or low the note is on the music staff. Note duration defines how long the note is held. When various notes are held with different durations following each other, that creates a rhythmic phrase or pattern. We use the pulse or the beat to figure out how long each note is.
