Oh, this can be so tricky, depending on the meter of the piece in question and how complex the passage is. The quick and dirty answer is that a dotted eighth has the value of three sixteenth notes. You can see that two eighth notes would be equal to 4 sixteenth notes, right? If you pair a dotted eighth note with a sixteenth note (you will see this very often: the two notes are connected with one flag/bar, the dot comes with the first note, and there is an added flag/bar segment to the second note that is short; it doesn't extend back to the first note) then the dotted eighth takes the place of the first 3 sixteenth notes in a group of four sixteenths.
To accurately count dotted notes in music notation, you count the number of beats the note is worth and then add half of that value. For example, a dotted quarter note is worth 1.5 beats because it is equal to a quarter note (1 beat) plus half of a quarter note (0.5 beats).
There are 3 eighth notes in a dotted quarter note.
A dotted quarter note is equal to 1.5 beats. Three quarter notes are 3 beats. Therefore, 3 quarter notes is equal to 2 dotted quarter notes.
You normally count in dotted quarter notes, which would be two beats per bar. So counting in eighth notes (up to 6), you would count a beat on the 1 and the 4.
There are two dotted eighth notes in a single quarter note.
There are 12 quavers (eighth notes) in a dotted semibreve (dotted whole note).There are 12.
A dotted eighth note is equal in duration to three sixteenth notes.
3 quarter notes equal one dotted half note. A quarter note is one beat, and a dotted half note is three beats, so there are 3 quarter notes in a dotted half note.
Dotted notes in music notation are notes that have a dot placed after them, which increases their duration by half. For example, a dotted half note is equal to three beats instead of two. Dotted notes are used to create rhythmic interest and variation in music, allowing for syncopation and adding complexity to the rhythm.
The dotted note is half again the value of the regular 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
Two dotted quarter notes is eual to 1 dotted half note. I.E. 1.5 + 1.5 = 3 .qrt .qrt .half
