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.
Any note can be a half note, as long as it is held for two full counts. This applies to any instrument.
If you mean a half note, half notes get 2 counts in 4/4 or 3/4 time. In 2/2, 4/2, or cut time a half note gets 1 count.
two counts
depends on the tempo (3 over 4, 2 over 4, 4 over 4). Easy answer is in a 4 over 4 tempo, a whole note receives 4 counts (the whole measure), a half note receives 2 counts, a quarter note receives 1 count (or beat) (see the pattern?), and watch this: half of a quarter is an eighth (music) so an eighth note receives half a count. test to you: how many counts does a sixteenth note receive?.

A musical note that contains three beats is called a dotted half note.

What kind of note? Dotted quarter note=1 and a half counts (ends on "and") Dotted half note=3 counts Dotted whole note=6 counts Anything dotted in musical notation is the worth of the note+half of it's worth (example, half note[2]+half of a half note[1]=3 counts) Thanks, Nate
An eighth note is worth half a beat.
One does not multiply music notation. If anything, it would be added. A half note and a quarter note together last for three counts.
A breve is a note that lasts for 8 beats/counts.
That means it's not a quarter note, it is an eighth note, which counts for half a beat of a quarter note.
The number of counts in a whole note is dependent on the time signature. If the bottom number is 4 (quarter) then the whole note gets 4 counts; if the bottom number is 2 (half) then the whole note get 2 counts; etc.
