I prefer the American system involving numbers. I think one would learn the note durations more easily than using the other systems. And young students would learn some maths at the same time that they learn music.

We also have the garrapatea* and semigarrapatea*, though not as long as the quasihemidemisemiquaver. BrE wins.

And of course British students learn some Latin and Greek instead.

How are those words pronounced? I have no idea.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_note
Quote:
Michael Miller wrote, "[t]he most basic note is called the whole note because ... it lasts a whole measure [in 4/4]..."
In the American system, all the other notes are simply fractions of a whole note
O = whole note


|
| = half note
|
O

,etc.

It's really easy.

I assume Canada uses the American system? What about Australia and NZ?
