Notes, rests and dots: a recap
Five note values
Count note values in crotchets. Each value lasts half the one before: semibreve 4, minim 2, crotchet 1. A quaver is half a beat, a semiquaver a quarter of a beat. Every note has a rest of the same length, from the semibreve rest down.
Quick check
How many semiquavers fit into one crotchet?
A dot adds half
A dot makes a note half as long again. A dotted minim is 2 + 1 = 3 beats. A dotted crotchet is 1 and a half beats.
Quick check
How many beats does a dotted crotchet last?
Remember
- Semibreve 4, minim 2, crotchet 1, quaver half, semiquaver a quarter.
- Every note has a rest of the same length.
- A dot adds half.
