LESSON 4


"6/8 TIME SIGNATURE"



-----Remember, the value of each note in relation to other notes is always the same. The time signature tells you how to
interpret the note. In the time signature of 6/8, the number 6 tells you there are 6 beats in a measure. The number 8 tells
you which note receives 1 beat, in this case the eighth note. Again, the easiest way to remember the bottom number is the
number on the bottom is equal to the note that fits into a whole note that amount of times. The eighth note fits into the
whole note 8 times.


-----So in 6/8 time signatures the eighth note receives 1 beat, the quarter note receives 2 beats, the sixteenth note
receives 1/2 a beat, annd the thirty-second note receives 1/4 of a beat.
