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

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
