I'm running into a bit of confusion. 6/8 can also be divided into 2's such as 6 pairs of 16th notes. I would be grateful for any help in understanding this concept. Thank you for the video by the way.

It’s a bit confusing, but it is to do with the beats. 6/8 is counted in two beats per bar: ONE two three, TWO two three etc.. (two beats of dotted crotchets per bar ). From this, you see that each beat is divided into three quavers, meaning that it is compound. On the contrary, time signatures that are simple metre will always have their beats divisible by two. Take 3/8 as an example, as lots of people wrongly think this is compound. In 3/8, there are three quaver beats per bar (three quaver beats), yet in these quaver beats, you can divide it into 2 semiquavers each, meaning it’s simple. So, what to take away is that it is to do with how the time signatures are COUNTED; if you count it in sets of dotted crotchets, it is always going to be compound, yet if you count it in sets of quavers, crotchets or even semiquavers, it will be simple. Please ask if that doesn’t make sense

@@tobyelms6148 I'm still confused because 6/8 could still be counted as ONE two THREE four FIVE six. Which would sound like 3/4 but what I'm confused about is why it's necessary to count 6/8 with 2 main beats.

@@seantoal5261well if you count 6/8 in two it feels very unnatural and creates a kind of weird syncopation. Just know that time signatures like 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8 will always be counted in groups of three and from that you will arrive at compound metre
@themaxtax5803 Жыл бұрын
awesome! seems like the bottom number in any compound time signature indicates a sub-beat, as opposed to the main beat in a simple time signature (ex in 4/8 the eighth note is the main beat, but in 9/8 the dotted quarter is the main beat)

i thought 6/4 was part of simple meter bc it goes 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and so cant it divide to 2? thanks
@chloebae7464Ай бұрын
nvm i got it thanks

wait no i still dont get it, ik ppl dont use sextuple simple meter to describe that but wouldn't that also work?

I thought a bar should have been divided by a bar line?

never good explanation, I was having trouble understanding what divisible by 2 or 3 meant, but now I see it's the note, not the number of notes.
