it depends on which rest note you're talking about. If it kind of looks like a fancy 7, that's an eighth rest, and counts for half a beat. If it looks like a weird squiggle thing, that's a quarter rest, and counts for one beat. If it looks like a little black rectangle sitting on top of the middle line, that's a half rest, and counts for 2 beats. If it looks like a black rectangle that sits under the middle line, that's a whole rest, and counts for 4 beats. There are other rests too, but those are the basics.

Like notes, there are different kinds of rest, each with its own value.

It depends on the shape and size of the rest. There are quarter rests, half rests, whole rests, etc.

It depends on the time signature. For example, in 4/4, it has 4 beats. In 2/4, it has 2 beats, etc.

Different drawing of musical notes and rest?

Each note or rest determines the amount of beats in for a note or rest. The time signature of a song consists of two numbers, the top number represents how many beats in a measure, and the bottom number represents how many beats a whole note gets. In 4/4 timing (4/4 being the time signature) a whole note/rest gets four beats and a measure consists of four beats. Therefore: Half note/rest- Two Beats Quarter note/rest- One beat Eighth note/rest- Half of a beat Sixteenth note/rest- Quarter of a beat and so on to 32nd, 64th, etc. Another coming time signature includes 2/2 (cut time) where a whole note/rest gets two beats and there are two beats in a measure. Therefore: Half note/rest- One Beat Quarter note/rest- Half of a beat Eighth note/rest- Quarter of a beat Etc. Other common time signatures include 3/4 (three beats to a measure), 2/4, and 6/8. Follow the same process in deriving the number of beats in a note or rest.
