From a conductors point of view, there are a number of ways. The first is simply by counting to seven, much like you would in 4/4 time, with a gesture for every beat (quarter note). In the more complicated way (likely used if it were a fast piece) there are three 'strong beats' indicated by gestures with the baton. The gestures move in the same pattern as 3/4 time, but one of the beats is worth three quarter notes, whereas the others are worth only two. The music dictates which beat gets the three quarter notes. There are three possibilities, and in a conductors mind, he/she is thinking: (1231212) or (1212312)OR (1212123), each of these represent one measure, and the conductor is moving the baton for every (1).

You just count six beats of "One-E-And-A" so "1eanda2eanda3eanda" for one measure.
