The DOT A Dot (.) after a note adds 1/2 of its value! Q: Huh? What does that mean??? A: A Half Note = 2 beats 1/2 of 2=1, right? So, a dot adds 1 beat to a Half Note which normally gets 2 beats adding up to 3 beats total!!! Easy!
Dotted Notes-Cont. remember: a dot adds 1/2 the value to a note! A Dotted Half Note (Too-oo-oo) = 3 beats A Dotted Quarter Note (Too-oo) = 1 1/2 beats (yes, same syllable as a half note because…it gets 2 pulses, or taps of your foot) A Dotted Eighth Note (Tie) = 3/4 of a beat (equal to 3 sixteenth notes tied together)
