LESSON 4: TIME SIGNATURE AND RHYTHMIC PATTERN

INTRODUCTION

Have you watched a choir or orchestra being led by a conductor? What


do you think is the importance of a conductor when a choir or orchestra
performs? What do the conductors movement or gestures mean?
Your hands are important tools for communicating. Through hand
gesture, you can convey ideas or feelings even without speaking.
In music, you can use your hands to signify the time signature of a musical piece.
These hand movements are called, conducting patterns.

In this lesson, you will learn more about time signature and conducting pattern.

LET’S UNDERSTAND

As you have learned, Time Signature is a fraction-like number written at the


beginning of a staff. The upper number tells the number of beats in each measure. The lower
number tells the kind of note that receives one beat.

SIMPLE TIME SIGNATURES


1. Time Signature

The time signature means that there are two beats in every measure. The lower
number (4) tells that the note that receives one beat is a quarter note.

Study the pattern below.

Study the pictures and learn how to conduct the time signature. Watch your
teacher as he or she shows you how to conduct the time signature.
TIME SIGNATURE

The time signature means that there are three beats in every measure. The lower
number (4) tells that the note that receives one beat is a quarter note.

Study the pattern below.

Study the pictures and learn how to conduct the time signature. Watch your
teacher as he or she shows you how to conduct the time signature.
TIME SIGNATURE

The time signature means that there are four beats in every measure. The lower
number (4) tells that the note that receives one beat is a quarter note.

Study the pattern below.

Study the pictures and learn how to conduct the time signature. Watch your teacher
as he or she shows you how to conduct the time signature.
COMPOUND TIME SIGNATURE

1. TIME SIGNATURE

The time signature is a compound meter. A time signature is compound if the


upper number is greater than three and can be divided by three. The lower number
indicates the note value for the subdivision of the beat. Since 8 is the lower number, the
eighth note gets one beat.

Study the pattern below.

Study the pictures and learn how to conduct the time signature. Watch your
teacher as he or she shows you how to conduct the time signature.

upper number is greater than three and can be divided by three. The lower number
indicates the note value for the subdivision of the beat. Since 8 is the lower number, the

LET’S APPLY

Identify the time signature by writing 2, 3 ,4, or 6.

LET’S EVALUATE

Listen attentively as your teacher plays each song. Identify the time signature

by writing 2, 3, 4, or 6 in the box.

1. “Carinosa” 4. “Mary had a little

Lamb”

2. “Lubi – Lubi” 5. “Atin Cu Pung


Singsing”

3. “Leron Leron Sinta”


LET’S CREATE

Draw and label the conducting pattern of the given time signature in the box.
Create a two-measure rhythmic pattern for each time signature on the staff.
