In music, you are always counting the beats. A measure normally has two, three, four, or six beats.

The most common time signature is 4/4. 4 beats to a measure, and the quarter note gets the beat. Meaning that there are 4 quarter notes per measure.

Piano lessons are a good way to learn to read music, which is helpful if you want to pursue some other kind of music, such as singing.
