How much is a dotted quarter rest worth?
A dot after the quarter note adds ½ beat (½ of the original value). A dotted quarter note equals 1½ beats.
How many beats does a dotted quarter rest get?
A more advanced rest is the dotted quarter rest, which receives 1 ½ beats. Each of these rests is the same length as its corresponding note. A dot after a rest adds half the value of that rest.
What is the value of a dotted rest?
For example if you have a dotted half note it would be worth the same as a half note plus a quarter note. If we are in common time, and a half note equals two beats a dotted half note would be worth three beats (2 + 1). The same goes for rests. A dotted half rest equals a half rest plus a quarter rest.
How much is a dotted quarter worth 6 8?
If you are in 6/8 timing the quarter note is usually said to be worth two eighth notes - so the dotted note is worth two plus half of two, so 3. Actually both of these values are the same! 1 1/2 quarter notes is the same length as three eighth notes.
