11. Dotted Half NoteA dot after a note INCREASES its duration by half the original valueExample: Adding a dot to a half note (2 beats) increases its value by 1 beat, making 3 beats:
12. Time SignaturesThe TIME SIGNATURE appears at the beginning of the music after the clef sign:The upper number tells how many beats are in each measureThe lower number indicates what type of note receives 1 beat:
13. 4/4 TimeTime signature is also called “meter”Can also be written as “common time”Four beats in a measureIn 4/4 time, a quarter note is equal to one beatA half note is equal to two beatsA whole note is equal to four beats
14. 2/4 TimeTwo beats per measureQuarter note equals one beat**Both 2/4 and 4/4 time signatures are called “duple” meters because they are based on the number 2
15. ¾ Time SignatureIs called “triple” meter because it is based on the number 3Three beats per measureQuarter note equals one beat
