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

What does a dotted half note look like?
It's just called a half note
How many counts does a dotted quaver get?
The "dot" is like the musical version of the phrase "and a half." Dotted quarter notes are equal to 1-1/2 quarter notes. By the same token, dotted half notes are equal to 1-1/2 half notes, or the same as 3 quarter notes. In a 4/4 time signature, a dotted quarter note is equal to 1-1/2 beats.
What is the kinds of rests?
semi quaver 0.25 beat(like a 7 with an extra line under the top stroke), quaver 0.5 beat (like a 7), crochet 1 beat (like a reverse z with a loop down the bottom), minim 2 beats(a little half box sitting on the 3rd line), semibreve 4 beats (a half box hanging from the 4th line)
How many beats in a dotted minim?
There are three (3) crotchets in a dotted minim.
What is the symbol for a music note for 3 beats?
A dotted half note. It looks like a quarter note that has an empty center, and it has a small, period-sized dot to the right of it.

What does a three beat note look like?
It's normally called a dotted minim, or using American terminology a dotted half-note, if you are counting in 4 time (counting in crotchets). In 8 time (where each beat is a quaver) it would be a dotted crotchet (dotted quarter-note).
How many sixteenth notes are in a half note?
Twelve. Remember that the dot always adds one half of the original note to the total - so a dotted half note is three beats in length. (Cut a half note in half and you get a quarter, so a dotted half note is two beats for the half note and one beat for the quarter you added to it) So now you can take those three beats (Three quarter notes) and cut them in half, which is six eighth notes, and then cut that in half and get twelve sixteenth notes. Phew. I hope that made sense.
Dotted whole and dotted quarter note?
A beat is the basic rhythmic unit of music. For more information, ask another question (one could ask a musically knowledgeable person in the flesh, as this is very basic musical knowledge).A dotted quarter note and an eighth note are worth two (2) beats together, with hits (notes starting) on the downbeat (beat 1) and the "and" (second half) of beat 2.If you are counting half notes (each half of each beat), then a dotted quarter note would last for three counts. If counting aloud, it would last while one counts "1 + 2" (one-and-two). The eighth note would then last when you count the "and" or + of beat 2.The top two cards in the image show a dotted quarter note plus and eighth note.The first two bottom cards (when reading left to right) show a quarter note and pair of eighth notes. The quarter note and the first eighth note are tied (with orange).The tie means to hold tone duration (or not to strike/hit on an instrument again) for the added values of the tied notes. The quarter note and eighth note tied are worth 1.5 beats - the same as a dotted quarter note. Therefore, in regards to the note values:dotted quarter note + eighth note = quarter note tied with eighth note + eighth note
How many beats does a dotted half note have?
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!!
How does a dotted half note look?
a half note with a small dot to the right of it (like a period)
How do you count note values?
Crotchet - 1 beat Quaver - Half beat Semi-Quaver - Quart of a beat Dotted Crotchet - 1 and a half beats Minim - 2 beats Dotted Minim - 2 and a half beats Semi-Breve - 4 beats Breve - 8 beats
What do you call a held musical note?
It depends on the note, or on the musical notation.You can have something called a fermata, which looks like a semi circle with a dot in the center, over a note, and that means that you can hold it out for a reasonable amount of time before moving on. You can also have a dotted quarter note, dotted half note, and dotted whole note, in which case you are to hold it out for a certain amount of time, depending on which one it is.
