What Is A Time Signature?

In music, we have something called a time signature. It is very important because it tells us how many
beats are in a measure, or how high we have to count before we start back at the number 1.

A time signature consists of two numbers as shown below:

The top number represents how many beats are in a measure, of how high you cunt. The bottom
number represents either quarter notes (4) eighth notes (8) or sixteenth notes (32). There can be many
varieties of times signatures in music as shown below:

We will focus on two types of time signatures for now 3/4 and 4/4. (Pronounced three four and four
four respectively). For now, all you need to know is how to count to 3 and how to count 4 and you will
be all set.
