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.
It really depends on your time signature (that is what defines a beat as). In terms of the most common time signature 4/4, the note that has a rhythmic value of three beats is called a dotted half note.
3 beats.
a dotted half note gets three beats. a "dot" adds half of the value of the note...for example half the value of a half note is one beat...so add that to the half note to get 3 beats
In a 4/4 time signature, a dotted half note receives three beats. The dot adds half of the note's original value to itself, so a half note (which is worth two beats) plus the additional beat from the dot totals three beats. This means that in a measure of 4/4, a dotted half note would take up most of the measure, leaving one beat remaining for other notes or rests.
Assuming they are crotchet beats, the note worth three crotchet beats would be a dotted minim.

A dotted quarter note. (One beat for the quarter note and half a beat for the dot.)
whole note = 4 beats per measure dotted whole note = 6 beats. = two dotted half notes dotted half notes is 3 beats.
Assuming they are crotchet beats, the note worth three crotchet beats would be a dotted minim.
A dotted half note has three beats; you hold it for three counts.
It's called a dotted minum
A musical note that contains three beats is called a dotted half 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
