Note Dotted Chart — free printable diagram

About this illustration

This educational diagram visually explains the concept of dotted notes in music theory. It clearly illustrates how a dot after a musical note increases its duration by half its original value. The image presents three examples: dotted semibreve, dotted minim, and dotted crotchet, showing their equivalent durations as a sum of two notes. The terminology used, such as "semibreve" and "minim," indicates suitability for music curricula in UK, Australian, or New Zealand educational settings. This resource is ideal for classroom slides, as a reference on a worksheet, or for a labelling activity in primary and early secondary music classes. The visual style is a clear, flat illustration with a friendly, hand-drawn aesthetic.
