The dot adds half the value of the note to the note. For example, let's say you have. Quarter note. Last time I checked, it was equal to one beat. When you add the dot, it takes half of the value from The note it's with and adds it to the note. So quarter note plus dot makes it 1.5 beats. Let's use a half note. Two beats, right. Add a dot. Take half of two. That's one. Add it back to two. You now have three beats, or a dotted half note.
