Time Signatures & Counting What do those numbers mean, anyway?

Time Signatures These are examples of time signatures!

What’s that mean? Top # = HOW MANY BEATS IN A BAR Bottom # = WHAT KIND of NOTE GETS 1 BEAT

So what’s a BEAT? The BEAT is a steady pulse. It is what our feet or toes should be tapping at all times. When we turn on the metronome it clicks the BEAT! The BEAT is what the director’s arms conduct! The BEAT is when your feet move when you dance. The BEAT will (for most of our time together), almost always be a quarter note. Turn on metronome and make kids tap foot. Accent on one.

Let’s Break it Down In this time signature the top number is 4, so there are FOUR beats per measure/bar. The bottom number is 4, meaning a QUARTER NOTE gets 1 beat.

Another Way to Look at It Think of the bottom number AS the type of note it is =

Another Example In this time signature the top number is 3, so there are THREE beats per measure/bar. The bottom number is 4, meaning a QUARTER NOTE gets 1 beat.

Basic Guidelines for Counting 1) The first note (or rest) in EVERY BAR will ALWAYS be labeled beat 1. 2) Every single bar will have the numbers 1 through the top number of the time signature. 3) A half note ( ) will always have two numbers written underneath it, because it’s worth 2 beats. 4) A whole note ( ) will always have 1 ( 2 3 4 ) written underneath it, because it’s worth 4 beats.

Writing in “the BEATS!” Notice that the number on top indicates HOW MANY quarter notes fit into each bar.

Examples with different values Notice how the half note gets two counts and the whole note gets four counts. ( ) ( ) ( )

Here are some unusual ones… 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
