.... 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.
If there is just one dot above or below any note it means the note is staccato which menas short and dettached.
It is a staccato mark. It means to play the note short, generally one half of its normal value. So if you have a quarter note in 4/4 time with a dot under it, you play it about 1/2 beat, or in other words, like an eigth note.
a quarter note with a dot below it means stacatto, so you play the note very short and use a small amount of bow(with string instruments).
A first dot adds one half the duration of the given note. A second dot adds one quarter of the given note (or one half the value contributed by the first dot). A third dot adds one eighth of the value of the given note (or one half the value contributed by the second dot).
Adding a dot to a note increases its duration by half its value.

A dot in music notation indicates that the note should be held for longer than its original value. It adds half of the note's value to its duration.
The dot at the right of a half note makes the half note one beat longer. The dot makes the note to the left of the dot half of the note value longer. For example a quarter note dot is one and a half beats in 4/4 time.
A dotted note means that you play that note for 1- 1/2 more time than that same note without the dot would be played.
a quarter note with a dot below it means stacatto, so you play the note very short and use a small amount of bow(with string instruments).
A dot placed after a musical note increases its duration by half.
A first dot adds one half the duration of the given note. A second dot adds one quarter of the given note (or one half the value contributed by the first dot). A third dot adds one eighth of the value of the given note (or one half the value contributed by the second dot).
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.
Adding a dot to a note increases its duration by half its value.
A note with a dot in music notation means that the note's duration is increased by half of its original value.
The dot on top of a musical note increases the note's duration by half of its original value. It is called a dot and it is a common notation in music to indicate rhythmic values.
