LESSON 2

Compound and Simple Meter/Signature

• Simple time signature is a piece of music that is subdivided up into two part rhythms. Examples: 2/4, 3/4, or 4/4. The top number tells how much each beats gets and the bottom tells us the note value.
• We identify the meters by the terms duple, triple, and quadruple.
• Compund time signature are meters in which the beat divides into three, and then further subdivides into six. 
• Examples of compund time signature would be  6/8, 9/8 and 12/8.
