Best Answer

Triplets get played in the same time that pairs would get played. They would be played slightly faster. Say "cornbread" and "cantaloupe" in the same time..."cantaloupe" is the triplet.

A dotted note is worth half again more what the undotted note is worth. A dotted quarter would be worth a quarter plus a sixteenth.
