How many beats does a dotted half note have?

Answer 1

A dotted half note will always get three beats because a dote adds half the value of the note to the note. So a half note = 2 beats, 1/2 of 2 = 1, so 2+1=3. If you are in 4/4, it equals three beats. If you are in3/4, it equals three. 2/4 and 2/2 cannot have a dotted half note because the value is too big. In 6/8, the value changes because the eighth note gets the beat instead of the quarter note. So then the dotted half note would get 6 beats, instead f three because everything is basically doubled. Hope that helps!!

Answer 2

The value of that note plus half of it's value. For example-

A dotted quarter note would be 1 and 1/2 beats (1+1/2)

A dotted half note would be 3 beats (2+1)

And a dotted whole note would be 6 beats (4+2)

Answer 3

3 beats to beats for the half notes and one note for the dot

Answer 4

In 4/4 time a dotted half note would be held for 3 beats

In 6/8 it is held for 6 beats

In 3/4 it is held for 3 beats

Answer 5

1 1/2 beats in 4 4 time

Answer 6
