How many beats does dotted quarter note get?

Answer 1

It gets 3/4 of a beat.

If you count in 4/4 meter, and the Dotted eighth note is on the first beat, it's count would be: 1 & 2 & etc.

The action of the dot increases the value of the eighth note by half it's value. Half the value of an eighth note is a sixteenth note.

So a dotted eighth note = eighth note + sixteenth note

Answer 2

A dotted eight note is an eighth note (quaver) + half its value so it depends on the time signature

If the time signature is 6 then it would be one and a half beats

8

If the time signature is 3 then it would be worth 0.75 of a a crotchet beat

Answer 3

one and 1/2 beats go to a dotted quarter note. The dot adds 50% of its value without the dot.

Answer 4

An eight note gets 1/2 a beat, so a pair of eight notes gets 1 beat.

I hope that this helped you :)
