HUT 2 3 4…HUT 2 3 4!
Discuss the lesson: Intro to Music Theory Part 4- Counting in 4/4
Mr. G: Still not clear on what the bottom number means in 4/4 or other designations. Got the top number, but the bottom number has me confused.
bottom number tells you what note equals one beat
a 4 designates a quarter note ( 1/4 )
8 would be an Eighth note ( 1/8 ) and so on
hope this helps

I usually have the best luck when I look at a time signature as a time “fraction”…for some reason I just understand it better that way.
Good analogy!!! that’s what it is! A quarter note is 1/4 of a whole note. A half note is 1/2 of a whole note.
