How to Feel Dotted Rhythms in Music

https://livingpianos.com/how-to-feel-... Welcome to LivingPianos.com, I'm Robert Estrin. Today's subject is about how to feel dotted rhythms. What does a dot do to a note? That's a good question. A lot of people say a dot after a note adds half the value of the note. That can be kind of confusing because if you have a quarter note, half of a quarter is an eighth. Particularly if you're teaching piano to children and you say, "How much is a quarter plus an eighth?" You're going to get a glazed look in their eyes. So another way of looking at what dots do to notes is to say that a dot after a note adds the value of the next faster note.
