A semibreve
No - type refers to the name such as whole note, half note, etc. Value is how much it is worth such as 4 beats, 2 beats, etc
In a 4/4 measure it would be 3 beats. =)
A whole note is played for 4 beats.
A half note gets two beats, no matter what time signature you are in.
A whole note in 4/4 time.
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!!
It depends on the time signature. If the time signature is x/4, the the whole note gets 4 beats. It also depends on where the dot is. If the dot is above the whole note, it gets two beats; if it is to the right of the whole note it gets six beats.
in 4/4 time, a note held for 3 beats is a dotted minim. the minim is 2 beats and the dot adds half the value of the note, hence 3 beats.
A whole note still has four beats, even in 5/4 time. For a whole note to last five beats, it would have to be dotted.
In a 4/4 measure it would be 3 beats. =)
In a 4/4 time signature, a dotted half note receives three beats. The dot adds half the value of the note (which is 2 beats for a half note), resulting in a total of 3 beats. Therefore, when played in a measure of 4/4, a dotted half note occupies the majority of the measure, leaving one beat remaining.
A semi-breve (looks like a big empty oval)
