Grade 3 Music Theory - Simple & Compound Time Signatures
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.ค. 2024
- Easily understand the difference between simple and compound time. Learn all about duple, triple and quadruple meters, how to correctly group beats and how to tell if something is in simple time or compound time using this helpful chart. Suitable for candidates preparing for ABRSM Grade 3 music theory. Time signatures tell us how many beats are contained in each bar and which note value is equivalent to a beat. Time signatures consist of two numbers. The lower number indicates a rhythmic duration - 2 is a Minim (Half Note), 4 is a Crotchet (Quarter Note), 8 is a Quaver (Eighth Note) and 16 is a Semiquaver (Sixteenth Note). The number above shows how many of them there are in a bar. Music that has two beats (of any rhythmic duration) is said to be in "duple time". Music with three beats is in "triple time" and music with four beats is in "quadruple time". This music theory lesson explains the difference between simple time and compound time. In simple time each beat could be divided into two. Compound time is the name given when the beat divides into 3. Each 'simple' time signature has an equivalent 'compound' time signature. The important points to remember is that anything with 2, 3 or 4 at the top is Simple time. Anything with 6, 9 or 12 at the top is in Compound time. Many people find the topic of simple and compound time quite hard to understand but this music theory lesson will give you a clear understanding of the two.

Thank you! I deeply appreciate your teaching style; step by step, no rush! I suggest you tell viewers that they will get more out of your videos if they take notes! I imagine many just watch and listen, and do not appreciate the value of writing as a learning strategy.

After seeing this video explaining the time signature I now feel like a ton of pressure has been offloaded from my brain, the lower number of the time signatures was eating my head and didn't know
where to find a clear explanation. Thank Sir as always, you are a great educator.

This is very useful, however anyone trying to learn music theory from US using these youtube videos, I would suggest getting a good music theory book on learning or familiarizing yourself with some of the british musical terms that are used like quaver note, crochet note, dotted crochet note, minute not, dotted minute note etc because the music terms used in the US is slightly different. We are taught, quarter note, half note, whole note, eighth note, dotted half note, dotted quarter note so slightly different terminology. They are all basically synonymous and mean the same thing, but if you don't want to feel lost, then this is what i would suggest because music teachers in the US don't use the british terms when they teach music. They will use the US based terms.
Very helpful, thanks 😀
I took a lesson about this in my school of music but i couldn't understand it more than this one😍thank you
Hope it now makes sense
Thanks sir for this lesson. Love from India...:-)
