In Canada we learned whole note, half note, quarter note, and so on. The national exam-administering people are called the Royal Conservatory of Music, but it's a Canadian institution, just to make things confusing.

Then again, we also have the Royal Canadian Mint, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, to name a few. But I was also reminded the other day in a Canadian knowledge quiz that the Canadian head of state is still technically the Queen! (And I did get the question right - social studies wasn't completely wasted on me!)
