In 3/2 time, there are 3 beats in the measure and the half note gets the beat.
A half note gets two beats, no matter what time signature you are in.
Three quarter note beats are in each measure in 3/4 time.
To determine the number of beats in music notes, you look at the shape of the note. Each note has a specific value that represents the number of beats it receives in a measure of music. For example, a quarter note typically receives one beat, while a half note receives two beats, and a whole note receives four beats. By understanding the value of each note, you can calculate the total number of beats in a piece of music.
At the beginning of the register, there will be two numbers, one on top of each other. The top number tells how many beats there are in each measure, the bottom number tells how many beats to give the whole note. The standard 4/4 time signature has four beats per measure, 4 beats per whole note.

A whole note tied to a half note tied to a quarter note gets seven beats.
It has 1/64 beats.
A dotted note is 50% longer than the un-dotted note. A whole note is normally four beats. Hence, a dotted whole note would be six beats.
Music notes typically represent different durations of sound, with each note corresponding to a specific number of beats.
