A music quiz for elementary school students. We turned musical symbols and fun facts into quiz questions! (11–20)

How many quarter notes long is a dotted quarter note?

How many quarter notes long is a dotted quarter note?
  1. for one piece
  2. One and a half pieces
  3. for two pieces
See the answer

One and a half pieces

When a dot is added, the rule is that you add half the length of the original note. Therefore, a dotted quarter note is a quarter note plus an eighth note (which is half the length of a quarter note), making it the length of one and a half quarter notes in total.
