Also, what does two dots on a note mean?

Lesson 17: Double Dotted Notes There are also note values with two dots, and they are called double dotted notes. The second dot means that we tie on half of the note value that the dot added to the note. In other words, a double dotted quarter note equals a quarter note tied to an eighth note tied to a sixteenth note.

Likewise, how do you explain dotted notes? Dotted notes are notes with a small dot written after them. A dot increases the length of a note by one half its value. A dotted quarter note is equal to a quarter note tied to an eighth note (quaver). A dotted half note is equal to a half note tied to a quarter note (crotchet).

Similarly, you may ask, what does a dot in front of a note mean?

A dot that is placed after the note to indicate a change in the duration of a note. The dot adds half of the value of the note to itself. For example, a dotted half note gets 3 beats - value of a half note is 2, half of 2 is 1 so 2 + 1 = 3.

What does a dotted eighth note equal?

In the case of the dotted quaver (eighth note) this means the dot takes a quarter of a beat. Adding this to the original value of the note (half a beat) we get three quarters of a beat.
