Now We Add Some Numbers…
Time Signature A set of stacked numbers that determines
the meter of the music Top Number: number of beats in a
measure Bottom Number: size of a note that
determines what a single beat is
![Page 20: Music Basics](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56813e82550346895da8b3a8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Now We Add Some Numbers…
Time Signature: Denominator explained Bottom number is the note determining
the beat (pulse) Common time: bottom number is a 4, so
a quarter note equals the beat So, if the bottom number is 8, an eighth
note is the pulse/beat of the music
![Page 21: Music Basics](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081504/56813e82550346895da8b3a8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Key Signatures are made up of Sharps and Flats or Accidentals
Key Signature Symbols that indicate what they key of
the music is Designated by sharps or flats at the
beginning of every staff Sharps raise a pitch, flats lower a pitch
# = raise b = lower n = undoes a sharp or flat

Sharps and Flats last for every note in the measure.
When a new measure begins, the accidental is deactivated.
