•The time signature consists of two numbers, stacked one on top of the other. The top number represents the number of beats per measure, while the bottom number represents the note value for each beat.
—For 4/4
•A time signature of 4/4 means count 4 (top number) quarter notes (bottom number) to each bar. So the pulse, or beat, is counted 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.
—For 3/4
•The 3/4 time signature means there are three quarter notes (or any combination of notes that equals three quarter notes) in every measure and is counted 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 and so on.
—For 2/4
•In 2/4 time, the top and bottom number tell us how many beats will be in each measure and what kind of note will receive 1 beat. It is counted 1, 2, 1, 2, (up and down beat) and so on.
—For 6/8
•6/8 consists of two groups of 3 eighth notes, whereas 3/4 consists of three groups of 2 eighth notes."6/8", the eight means that an eighth note gets one beat. The 6 means that there are 6 beats per measure. You can count this measure as "one two three four five six." Many jigs are written in 6/8 time.
