NOTE 3;
TOPIC: TIME SIGNATURE
Time signatures indicate how many beats are in each
measure of a piece of music, as well as which note value
is counted as a beat. Time signatures are located at the
beginning of the staff (a set of five lines used to dictate
each note’s pitch), after the clef and key signature.

TYPES OF TIME SIGNATURE


The time signature is typically represented by two stacked numbers (like
a fraction). The top number is the number of beats in a measure and the
bottom number is the note value that represents one beat. For example, a
song written in 4/4 time will have four quarter-note beats per measure,
whereas a song written in 9/8 time will have nine eighth-note beats per
measure. There are three basic types of time signatures: simple,
compound, and complex.
1. Simple: The most common types of simple time signatures are 2/4,
3/4, 4/4, and 2/2. Sometimes the letter “C” (meaning common time) will
be used in place of 4/4. Both C and 4/4 indicate that there are four
quarter note beats in each measure. For 2/4 and 3/4, there are two and
three quarter note beats per measure, respectively.
2. Compound: Common compound time signatures include 9/4, 6/8,
and 12/8. The beat of a piece of music with a compound time signature
is broken into a three-part rhythm. In each of the cases above, quarter or
eighth notes are combined in multiples of three.
3. Complex: Complex time signatures are more common in music
written after the nineteenth century. Complex time signatures don't
follow typical duple or triple meters. Examples of complex time
signatures include: 5/4, 11/4, and 7/8.
