This note without the dot is a minim and worth 2 if we add a dot the dot says add another half of the minim to. Let me explain when I dot is on the right-hand side of a note it means add half of the note value to itself this sounds complicated but it is fairly straightforward. Well such a note does exist and it looks like this it’s called a dotted. Now you can see that from our list on the left there is no note listed here which represents a value of 3. As each semiquaver has a value of 1/4 you’d need 16 of them to equal the value of 1 semibreve when trying to learn note names and their values it’s always worth building a pyramid like this so you can see exactly how each note splits into other note. The dottedĪnyway before I bog you down with beaming let’s go back to the semi quavers themselve. This would also be incorrect because only the top line is joining all three note. This grouping would be incorrect because one of the tails of the final semi quaver is sticking out of the group of notes. Notice how they are beamed they are all neatly joined together to form one group. Because all of the notes have tails they are often being together to look like this. However so you understand what I mean by this here is a quaver and two semi quavers. It’s worth noting here that different notes with tails like quavers and semi quavers can often be joined or beamed together. The stems can be glued together to look like this. How it looks like a quaver but has another tail added when for semi quavers sitting next to each other and sometimes two or three semi quavers. Semi means 1/2 so it literally means 1/2 a quaver half of a quaver would be a quarter notice. However the tail always sits on the right this would never be correct as the tail is on the left. The stem always sits on the right if the note head is at the bottom and on the left if the note head is at the top. If you need to so as the quaver has a value of 1/2 you’d need how many to equal the value of 1 semibreve you’d need 8 as I mentioned earlie. If you need some assistance have a look there. Now there are some quite complex rules relating to joining of notes like these together. This means there are still two quavers and together they’re equal 1 because half plus 1/2 equals 1. Sometimes three or four the tails can often be glued together to look like. Here are two quavers each with their tails. Let’s just take a moment to look a little more at tail. This is a quaver and has a value of 1/2 notice how it looks like a crotchet but we’ve added a tail to the stem.
