Question

A dot after a note increases its duration by ________ the original value?

ahhh homework help

Answer 1

half the original value. like a dotted half note has 3 beats 'cause half of it's original (2) is 1, so you add 1 to 2.

Answer 2

Note values (durations) are measured as fractions, normally 1/2, of the next higher note value. The longest duration normally used is called brevis, but sometimes (mostly in pre-baroque music) the double length note value longa is used.

An augmentation dot after a note multiplies the duration by one and a half. Another dot adds yet a fourth of the duration

Alternatively note values may be subdivided by other ratios. Most common is subdivision by 3 (triplets) and 5 (quintuplets). Subdivisions by 2 (tuplets) or 4 (quadruplets) of dotted notes are also frequently used.

Answer 3

half
so if its over a quarter it get 1 1/2 beats
with whole note 6 beats

Answer 4

one half!
