In music what does 4 over 4 mean?

Answer 1

The time signature is the two numbers written at the beginning of a piece.

• The top number tells how many beats are in each measure.

• The bottom number tells what kind of note gets one beat.

In time signatures with a 4 on the bottom, the quarter note gets one beat.

1 beat = quarter note, quarter rest

2 beats = half note, half rest

4 beats = whole note, whole rest

1/2 beat = eighth note, eighth rest

If the time signature is 4/4, that means there are 4 beats in each measure, and that the quarter note represents as one beat.

| 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2 3 4 | 1 2... (and so on)

If the time signature is 3/4, that means there are 3 beats in each measure, and that the quarter note represents as one beat.

| 1 2 3 | 1 2 3 | 1 2 3 | 1 2... (and so on)

Often 4/4 time signature is written as a C.

Answer 2

The meter 4/4 is a specific time signature that is used in music. Of the many simple and complex meters in music, 4/4 is probably the most common and most-often used. The top four means that there are 4 beats in the given measure. The bottom 4 refers to the note that receives the beat (which, in this case is a quarter note).
