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 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 could be the quarter note if the piece is slower, or the dotted-half in something faster (such as a waltz).
Some one please answer it! Those two numbers are the "time signature." The top number indicates how many beats are in a measure, and the bottom number indicates what note equals one beat. For example, in 3/4 time there are three beats per measure and a quarter note equals one beat. In 6/8 time, there are six beats per measure and an eighth note is one beat.
That depends: 4/4 times is 1 beat 6/8 times is 2 beat 2/2 times is 1/2 beat Hoped this helped
It really depends on your time signature (that is what defines a beat as). In terms of the most common time signature 4/4, the note that has a rhythmic value of three beats is called a dotted half note.
A dotted quarter note gets 3 beats in 3/8 meter. The lower number in the time signature means that the 8th notes gets 1 beat, so every note value is doubled. Therefore, the quarter note, which normally gets 1 beat in 4/4, is doubled to 2 beats. The dot is equal to 1/2 beat, so doubled it gets 1. 2+1=3 beats.
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 A good website that illustrates how dots work is: http://www.8notes.com/school/theory/dots_and_ties.asp -Mimi
Yes and no. Commonly, a quarter note gets one beat, an eighth note gets half, and a sixteenth note gets one fourth of a beat (4-4 time). Occasionally, a song will be in 4-8 or 2-8 time, then the quarter note gets two beats, the eighth note gets one, and the sixteenth note gets half a beat. That help?
The bottom number in a time signature is the denominator of the fraction denoting the note value that gets the beat. So if the bottom number in the time signature is a four, imagine it's the bottom of a fraction with a numerator of 1. 1/4 is a quarter, so the quarter note gets the beat.

In/On any instrument a quarter note gets one beat.
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.
The quarter note gets one beat in music. If the time signature were 4/4, there would be four beats per measure and the quarter note gets one beat.
it gets 6/8 beats
Time signatures in music indicate the number of beats in each measure and the type of note that receives one beat. The top number represents the number of beats in a measure, while the bottom number indicates the type of note that gets one beat. For example, in 4/4 time, there are 4 beats in a measure, and a quarter note receives one beat. Different time signatures can create different rhythmic feels in music.
To identify a time signature in music, look at the numbers written at the beginning of the piece. The top number tells you how many beats are in each measure, while the bottom number indicates which note value gets one beat. For example, in 4/4 time, there are 4 beats in each measure, and the quarter note gets one beat.
