What is time signature?
Time signature tells us how the music is to be
counted. The time signature is written at the
beginning of the staff after the clef and the
key signature.
A time signature consists of two numbers; the
upper number and the lower number. The
upper number of the time signature tells us
the number of beats that should be in each
measure. The lower number of the time
signature tells us the kind of note that receives
one beat.
