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.
Dotted quarter-note
Dotted half note
Assuming they are crotchet beats, the note worth three crotchet beats would be a dotted minim.
It's just called a half note
Three quarter note beats are in each measure in 3/4 time.
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 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
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.
Quarter, eighth, eighth, half
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!!
