A dotted crotchet.
No, you press the beat once in a half note, but you hold it for two beats.
a half note gets two beats. Because a whole note is 4 beats usually that means half of that is two beats.
Well, a dot gives you half the amount of the original note, so it would be on the and of 16 or something...
An eighth note gets half a beat
The dot by the right of the note adds half of the notes value. E.g. A minim (a two beat note) with a dot (half of it = 1 beat) makes a three beat note.
A quaver is worth half the beat of one beat of a bar.
It could be the quarter note if the piece is slower, or the dotted-half in something faster (such as a waltz).
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 dot after the note means you add half the beat. As in if it were a dotted quarter note, you would make it 1 and a HALF beats because half of one beat is a half. Or a dotted half note, it would be three beats because it is the two original beats plus half of the note.
Here is the correct basic values in music theory: Quarter note = 1 beat = two 8th notes Whole note = 4 beats = two half notes Half note = 2 beats = two 8th notes Half Dotted note = 3 beats = one Half note + one Quarter note Half Dotted quarter note = (1.5) beat = one Quarter note + one 8th note 8th note = (1/2) beat= two 16th notes 16th note = (1/4) beat = two 32nd notes 32nd note = (1/16) beat = two 64th notes 64th note = (1/32) beat = two 128th notes

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.
