The Time Signature:
- The top number refers to the number of beats in a measure. (4 beats per measure)
- The bottom number shows which note gets the beat. (The 4 on bottom informs us that the quarter note gets the beat)
- In other words, the click on the metronome is the quarter note
- If this isn’t clear, don’t worry about it for now; we will discuss this later
The Measure and Bar Lines:
- The picture above is an example of 1 bar (also known as 1 measure)
- The vertical lines are bar lines
