- This chart displays the relationship of all five note types discussed in this lesson.
Measures and Time Signature
- Vertical black bars called bar lines divide the staff into measures.
- This staff has been split into two measures.
- Time signatures define the amount and type of notes that each measure contains.
- The first measure is in 4/4 time and the second measure is in 3/4 time.
- The first measure (4/4) contains four quarter notes.
- The second measure (3/4) contains three quarter notes.
- Next, we will discuss non-quarter-note time signatures.
- 6/8 time contains six eighth notes.
- 3/2 time contains three half notes.
- This chart displays all of the time signatures that we discussed.
