time sigs.001

 


 

Here is how music is written in 3/4:

  • A dotted half note is equal to 3 beats and takes up a whole measure.
  • 8th notes in the same beat are beamed together.   This allows the reader to easily see all 3 beats.
  • Likewise, 16th notes in the same beat are beamed together.
