semi quavers are quarter beat notes, semibreves are 4 beat notes and semitones are 1 half tone up the keyboard or down the keyboard. do you understand?

While I appreciate your answer, I don't appreciate the rather sarcastic tone of the reply - "do you understand?"
We try to help and support one another on this board and give helpful and polite replies. These terms a new to me and probably to others, hoping you didn't mean your reply to be taken this way, let's be friends.

..the second one is B.
You tell'm, suzyq...but we should, with respect, remember that what seems strange to some users of English in all it's many variations if perfectly natural to others.
Foe instance, ""'for the longest time"", and ""I could care less"" no doubt are heard by you fairly frequently..but to me they make no sense at all. Just another example is ""homecoming queen'', which no doubt would have a far different meaning in Lancashire to that used in the US.
It's surprising that you learn piano and are not familiar with these, although I know that Whole Note, Half Note Quater Note and Eighth Note are the terms used in much of the US.

Hi Pete,
I think these terms are used in Europe and not in the states.
I'm not familiar with them - sometimes I've seen them mentioned in books about music and ofter wondered what they meant - semi to me is half and breve and this is a guess is brief or short, and again another guess equals half-time.
Have to say your answer is very clear - thanks. You are right, we do have a lot of crazy sayings that don't make much sense, but I would guess that would be universal.

...it sure is, mate
The Semi-Breve is related to a Breve, not much seen in popular music, but still common in Church music.
The books I teach from here use both terms.
