Question

4. A dot gets 1⁄2 the value of the note or rest that it follows. What is the value of a dotted half rest?

Answer 1

The value of a note or rest is a function of the relative duration of the note. The value of dotted half rest is 3 beats

The value of note or rest :

• Whole note has a value of 4 beats
• Half note has a value of 2 beats
• Quarter note has a value of 1 beat

A dot = $\frac {1}{2}$ value of the note

Value of half rest = 2 beats

Value of dot which follows a half rest = $\frac {1}{2} \times 2 = 1$

Value of dotted half rest = (value of rest + value of dot) = (2 + 1) = 3 beats

Therefore, the value of dotted half rest is 3 beats.
