off somewhere Okay Here's our question which of the following

00:13

answers is an example of compound meter and hear your

00:17

potential answers brought to you by the metric system with

00:21

a different deal All right compound and simple are opposing

00:24

terms used for a lot of things including interest fractures

00:27

and time signatures Luckily for all parties involved we're looking

00:31

at time signatures So if we get this question wrong

00:34

we might be looking at fractures Are boss Takes music

00:36

education pretty seriously for this problem all we need to

00:40

know is what a compound meter is versus a simple

00:43

meter Well a simple meter is any time signature in

00:46

which the beats air naturally divided into two equal parts

00:49

Whereas a compound meter is any time signature where the

00:52

beats are naturally divided into threes So yep Looks like

00:56

we have to use math You could do it Drummers

00:58

stay strong Okay So for example the time signature eight

01:01

to khun be divided into two parts That means answer

01:05

D's on the wrong team Likewise the time signature for

01:08

one is naturally divisible into two equal parts for one

01:13

01:15

but it's not our answer So bye bye bye answer

01:17

B seven four is tricky It appears to be neither

01:21

compound nor simple but if we think about each of

01:23

the seven beats in the measure being divided into two

01:26

eighth notes each we can see that it's in simple

01:29

meter to which leaves us with twelve sixteen Well twelve

01:33

sixteen is naturally divisible by three no matter how you

01:36

slice it Three groups of four four groups of three

01:38

ala mode or ice cream on the side our compound

01:41

meter is answered a so many fractions We have broken

01:45

our math bone Now all we have to do is

01:47

figure out if it's a compound or a simple fracture
