The Time Signature
At the beginning of a piece of music, there are two numbers written one on top of the other directly after the clef sign. These numbers are called a time signature. The time signature tells us how to count the music.
The Four Four Time Signature
These two numbers are called the four four time signature. They are placed on the staff, after the clef.
The top number tells us how many counts are in each bar and the bottom number tells us what kind of notes the counting is based on.
The * time signature tells us there are four counts in each bar. There are four quarter notes in one bar of * time.
This song contains four bars of quarter notes in * time using the notes C E and G in the treble staff. Count out loud as you play or clap.
