Name:…………………………………………… Date:………………….. Homework – Simple Time Signatures The regular pulses or beats in a piece of music are grouped together into bars. When writing down music the end of each bar is shown using bar-lines – single vertical lines – and the end of the piece is shown with a double bar-line. The number of beats in each bar is written at the beginning using two numbers called a time signature. The top number gives how many beats and the bottom number gives how they are written – when the bottom number is 4 each beat is a crotchet. The most common time signatures you will come across are time signature may be written as , and . Occasionally the . When you are writing down music you need to make sure that each bar adds up to the correct number of beats shown in the time signature. Double bar-line Time signature Bar-lines In the piece of music printed above the time signature is which means 2 crotchet beats in every bar. Each bar has 2 crotchet beats worth of notes – in this piece, either 2 crotchets or 1 minim. There are 4 bars of music and the end is shown with a double bar-line. When writing music in bars down you do not use a bar-line at the beginning of the line. You should also not split a bar over two different lines. You should only write the time signature once at the beginning of the piece. Exercise 1 Add the correct time signature in the box at the beginning of each line. The first one has been done as an example. 3 4 Exercise 2 Add ONE note at each place marked with a * to complete the bar. The first one is done as an example (with the note stems of the added notes going up.)
