Bar LineDefinition: A single vertical line that is used to separate music into measures
MeasureDefinition: the area between
bar lines that contains the notes and rhythms
Double Bar LineDefinition: Two straight lines used to
mark the end of a piece of music
Time Signatures
Definition: Time signatures tell us how many beats per measure and
what note gets the beat.
Time signatures are shown like fractions:
Top Number = How many beats per measureBottom Number = What note gets the beat
Time Signatures
Top Number = How Many Beats per Measure
Time Signatures
Top Number = 4 =
Top Number = 3 =
Top Number = 95 =
4 Beats Per Measure
3 Beats Per Measure
95 Beats Per Measure
_____4
Time SignaturesBottom Number = What note gets the beat
1. Pretend it is a fraction
= __1__4
2. Transfer fraction into words
Time Signatures
__1__4
=One-fourth
OR One Quarter
Bottom Number = What note gets the beat
3. Because of fraction is ONE QUARTER, we know that the QUARTER NOTE gets the beat
Time SignaturesBottom Number = What note gets the beat
Common Time – Another way of writing a 4/4 time signature. It means the SAME as a
4/4 time signature does
Time Signatures
Time Signatures= 4 Beats Per Measure
= Quarter Note gets the Beat
= 3 Beats Per Measure
= Quarter Note gets the Beat
Time Signatures= 6 Beats Per Measure
= Eighth Note gets the Beat
= 9 Beats Per Measure
= Eighth Note gets the Beat

Rhythm ExamplesFor these rhythms, you must have four full
counts in every example.
1 + 2_3 4 +
An underscore (_) will be used when notes
receive more than one count
Rhythm Examples
1_2_3 4 1_2_3_4
1_2_3 4 1_2 3_4
A space will go between counts for
new notes
Rhythm Examples
