Note Values Family Tree — free printable diagram

About this illustration

This image depicts a clear, hierarchical diagram illustrating standard musical note values, starting from a semibreve at the top and breaking down into minims, crotchets, quavers, and semiquavers. Each level shows the division of notes into two of the next smaller value, with accompanying labels specifying the quantity of notes and their beat duration (e.g., '1 Semibreve (4 beats)', '2 Minims (2 beats each)'). The use of terms like semibreve and quaver indicates a British English musical context, common in UK, AU, and NZ curricula. This flat illustration is ideal for slides, worksheets, or as a reference chart for teaching fundamental music theory concepts to K-12 students.
