Dotted Notes EXPLAINED! | Music Theory Tutorial

A dot placed next to a note increases the rhythmic duration of that note by half of its original value. For example, if a whole note sounds for two beats, a dotted whole note would sound for four beats.

In this video we will discuss what happens when a dot is placed next to a whole note, a half note, a quarter note, and an eighth note.

Why does this have so little views? Cant thank this guy enough for explaining in best way in shortest times unlike boring hour videos
Much appreciated

[alvodin]

Why can't teachers understand that every single concept needs an actual context or else it makes no sense. It's like trying to play by ear by only training single intervals.

Thanks for taking me through 29 yrs of dot study

[Kirisan_]

ive been trying to understand this and you explained it so well! thank you for this video

[torocruz]

Thank you. I am still struggling after a week. But I am getting much a clear understanding now. Definitely subbing ✌🏽

[GailCrissinger]

Counting and rhythm patterns. Best explanation! Verbal and video work for me. Thank you.

[無問西東]

Thank you for teaching us greatly good!

Hi, I really enjoyed your video! It was very informative. Could you please explain the dotted 16th notes, dotted 32nd notes, and dotted 64th notes in one of your future videos? That would be really helpful.

Thanks for the great content!

Best video I've seen. Your other videos are also amazing

[Thiru_Thiru]

[Martin-yfzk]

Thanks a bunch for explaining it sooo well. I finally got it!

[lindawilliams]

Great. I really need to find out how to slow it down

[giantcocokrisp]

A little constructive criticism: I think it's a little bit shady to talk about checking out the links in the description and not a single one includes a YouTube link, but instead it's filled with lots of ads.

[TuffGongVA]

Awesome video! I can't seem to find anything on dotted or doubledotted 16th/32nd notes. Help lol!

[無問西東]

So a dotted whole note gets 6 beats and is it the same thing as a whole note tied to a half note?

[leavethebasket]

So a dotted quarter note is exactly the same as a quarter notes tied to an eighth note, right? In what circumstances would you choose one over the other when notation music, or does it not matter because they are the same?

[AdalgisoqLykaios]

1:12 in here you said 2+2 where did you got the 2 and 2+1 where did you got the 1 I don't understand

[無問西東]

Is a dotted whole note in a 6/8 or 6/4 time signature?

[AdalgisoqLykaios]

1:04 okay I don't understand in here half note has 2 beats + 1/2 beats from the dotted
I search in Google they said the dotted has 1/2 but you said it has 2 because you said 2+2 the first 2 is from half note and the other 2 is from dotted I don't understand
