A dotted quarter note gets 3 beats in 3/8 meter. The lower number in the time signature means that the 8th notes gets 1 beat, so every note value is doubled. Therefore, the quarter note, which normally gets 1 beat in 4/4, is doubled to 2 beats. The dot is equal to 1/2 beat, so doubled it gets 1. 2+1=3 beats.

Why is there a dotted quarter note if its just like a half note?

It's not a half note. A dot after a note increases it's duration by half the note's value. Therefore, a dotted quarter note is essentially a three-eighths note.

Why does dotted eight note and rest have three fourths beats?

Dot adds a value to a note and rest. For example the note is dotted eighth note, the original value of the eighth note is 1/2 and since it is a dotted note we are going to get half of its value (1/4) and we will add it to the original value. So we will be able to have 1/2 plus 1/4 is equal to 3/4..

Can a dotted quarter not fall on beat four of a measure?

Yes and no. In 4/4 the note with the greatest value that can begin on beat 4 is a quarter note. Now that quarter note could be tied to an 8th note to start the new measure which would be the same length as a dotted quarter but technically not the same. However a dotted quarter could begin on beat 4 in a different time signature. Think 5/4. Try it!


How can one accurately count dotted notes in music notation?

To accurately count dotted notes in music notation, you count the number of beats the note is worth and then add half of that value. For example, a dotted quarter note is worth 1.5 beats because it is equal to a quarter note (1 beat) plus half of a quarter note (0.5 beats).
