Note Values
The following table sets out the most common notes used in music and their respective time values (i.e., length of time held). For each note value there is an equivalent rest, which indicates a period of silence.
If a dot is placed after a note it increases the value of that note by half, e.g.:
Dotted half note
(2 + 1) = 3 counts
Dotted quarter note
(1 + ½) = 1½ counts
Dotted whole note
(4 + 2) = 6 counts
A tie is a curved line joining two or more notes of the same pitch, where the second note(s) is not played but its time value is added tot hat of the first note. Here are two examples:
In both of these examples only the first note is played.
