The 6/4 (compound) time signature denotes two dotted half notes (dotted minims) in a bar. A dotted half note is equivalent to three quarter notes. Hence there is 6 quarter notes in a measure with this time signature.

The "dot" is like the musical version of the phrase "and a half." Dotted quarter notes are equal to 1-1/2 quarter notes. By the same token, dotted half notes are equal to 1-1/2 half notes, or the same as 3 quarter notes. In a 4/4 time signature, a dotted quarter note is equal to 1-1/2 beats.


Which of the following are two eighth notes equal to?

. One beat. [[... Not quite. That is only true if the time signature has a 4 in the lower half. This means the beat is a quarter note. If your signature is 7/8 (for example) this means that there are 7 beats per measure and the eighth note gets the beat. In a given time signature and tempo, it would take the same amount of time to play two eighth notes as it would to play one quarter note.]]
