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
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.
An eighth note (if the measure is in 4/4 time), because each measure gets 4 beats, therefore 1 beat is a quarter measure ergo, a quarter note. Half of a quarter is an eighth, therefore a half beat is an eighth note.
