 Music Dance Relationship In Rock of Ages

Time Signatures

• Time signature's are a notational convention used in Western musical notation to indicate how many beats are in a bar of music.

Time Signatures Task 1: 'NOIZE'

hello  = This is the time signature for the opening song of 'Rock of Ages'.

hello  = As the time signature is 4/4. This means there are 4 beats in a bar as shown by this highlighted bar.

hello  = This note is a crotchet and this is a full pulse note meaning it has a time value of 1 beat.

hello  = This note is a quaver and this is a half pulse note meaning it has a time value of half a beat (1/2 beat). 

hello  = This note is 2 quavers joined together to have an equivalent time value to a crotchet beat. This means it has a time value of 1 beat.

Time Signatures Task 1: 'NOIZE'

Time Signatures Task 2: 'HEAVEN'

hello  = Bar 58

hello  = This is where the time signature is supposed to be. The time signature should be 4/4 as hello contains 2 groups of 4 quaver beats. 2 quavers add to make 1 beat. As there is 8 quavers, this is equivalent to 4 crotchet beats. 1 crotchet is equal to 1 beat so 4 crotchets is equal to 4 beats. In Bar 58, hello  we can see that there is 4 beats in the bar.
