usually a half noteA half note gets 2 beats if you are in a 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, etc. If you are in an 8 pattern time signature, a quarter note gets two beats.
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!!
In music, duration is the length of a note. So in common time (4/4) a whole note's duration is 4 beats, dotted half note is 3 beats, a half note has 2 beats and a quarter note has a duration of 1 beat.
A dotted half note has three beats; you hold it for three counts.
A Meter Signature is what's at the beginning of every music piece. The top number tells how many beats in a measure. The bottom number tells what note gets the beat. Example~ 3/4, There are 3 beats in a measure and the quarter note gets the beat.

it depends on what time pattern you are in. If you are in a 4 pattern, a half notes gets two beats If you are in an 8 pattern, a quarter note gets two beats.
In 3/4 time, a quarter note gets one beat. A half note gets two beats, and a dotted half note gets the entire three beats of a measure.
Two beats out of four. Hence the name half note! :P
In a 4/4 measure it would be 3 beats. =)
a half note gets two beats. Because a whole note is 4 beats usually that means half of that is two beats.
In a 4/4 measure it would be 3 beats. =)
An eighth note is one HALF of ONE BEAT ( or quarter note)
