    Tied and dotted notes

    A tie lengthens the value of the first note by the value any notes it is tied to.

    + 4

    1 e + a

    3 +

    1 +

    2 + 3

    A dot lengthens a note (or rest) by half it's original value. The notes and rests in brackets are there just so that the bars add up.

    h. = h + q
    1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

    q. = q + e
    1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2

    Play through the following exercise containing tied and dotted notes:

    + 4

    A 'double dot' adds half plus a quarter of the note's original value! In this case: h + q + e
