4. For each dotted value:

a. Draw the appropriate dotted lower divisions, for example, a

dotted half-note dividing into two dotted quarter-notes.

b. Draw the appropriate non-dotted lower divisions, for

example, a dotted half-note dividing into three quarter-
notes.

c. Draw the appropriate durational values that represent the

addition of half the basic value. For example, a dotted half-
note is a half-note plus a quarter-note (“half again as
much”).
