Question

If I have a Half note in a measure in 4/4 time, what else could I add to the measure to make it complete?

A Quarter note


Another Half note


A Whole note


Add a dot to it

Answer 1

Another Half note

Step-by-step explanation:

The following information will help you in the future with any music questions based off of a measure in 4/4 time-

Quarter note = 1 beat (4 quarter notes = full 4/4 measure)

Half note = 2 beats (2 half notes = full 4/4 measure)

Whole note = fills up the whole measure, no matter the time (1 whole note = full 4/4 measure)

It might be helpful to write that down.

So, if you have a half note (which equals 2 beats), in order to make a complete measure, you need to add 2 more beats.

Therefore, adding a quarter note won't work (you would have to add 2), adding a whole note won't work, and adding a dot won't work. You could, however, add a half note, and then the measure will be complete.

I hope this helps! Have a lovely day!! :)
