Time signatures tell musicians how to interpret the note values on the page. The bottom number tells you what notes get the beat (ex. 4=quarter note, 8=eighth note); the top number tells you how many of that type of note is in a measure (ex. 4/4= quarter notes get the beat, there are 4 in a measure).
