A dotted half note
(my band teacher is going to be soo proud!!)
A dotted half note has three beats; you hold it for three counts.
Assuming they are crotchet beats, the note worth three crotchet beats would be a dotted minim.
A minim has two beats. Therefore there are one and a half minims for three beats. A single note that has three beats is the dotted minim (dotted half note).
It's called a dotted minum
Assuming they are crotchet beats, the note worth three crotchet beats would be a dotted minim.
It's just called a half note
A musical note that contains three beats is called a dotted half note.
Three quarter note beats are in each measure in 3/4 time.
Commonly, There Are Four, Depending On The Length And Dynamics Of The Notes.
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 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!!
A minim worth two beats. The dot to a note worth half of the note value. Hence the dotted minim has three beats.
