In a 4/4 measure it would be 3 beats. =)
a dotted half note gets three beats. a "dot" adds half of the value of the note...for example half the value of a half note is one beat...so add that to the half note to get 3 beats
whole note = 4 beats per measure dotted whole note = 6 beats. = two dotted half notes dotted half notes is 3 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.
Assuming they are crotchet beats, the note worth three crotchet beats would be a dotted minim.
A dotted half note has three beats; you hold it for three counts.
A dotted quarter note. (One beat for the quarter note and half a beat for the dot.)
It's called a dotted minum
A musical note that contains three beats is called a dotted half note.
1 dotted half note = 3 beats 1 dotted whole note = 6 beats so 6/3 = 2 2 dotted whole notes equals a dotted half note
3 beats
3 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!!
