Understanding the Difference Between 4/4 and 3/4 Time Signature — Tutorial for Beginning Musicians

So 3/4 time is really 3/3; there's no indication of the missing 1/4 of a 3/4 time signature.

clean and simple explanation, thank you

Great lesson. Nice voice too!

What's with the second 4? If there are three beats per measure in 3/4 time what are there 4 of?

Very helpful thanks!!!

Wow!! Thank you so much!!! This was so helpful! I'll definitely remember this with the winnie the pooh song to solidify it in my memory!! Thank you!

Thank you so much! I’m 53 and just starting with music and this really helped (the clapping thighs and hands, genius). Thank you again from a learner in Ireland.

I’m so used to 4/4 or as you sad it “common” I recently started making music and I feel like im missing something because there’s like a hundred different time signatures like tf 😭

I found the time signatures had alot of false info for instance there's no difference between 3/4 and 4/4 because 3 times 10 is 30 and 30 times 4 is 120 and 4 times 10 is 40 and 40 times 3 is 120 its just the same tempo you need to use math in it to understand the only difference is that there's 40 times more Bars in 3/4 and only 30 times bars in 4/4 that's just facts

Very simple, good demonstration ❤👃

Mama so many love from Nepal and thakyou so much 🙏you are greatest Mama in the world ❤🙏

Ty very helpful. I have to remind myself not to do this while driving.

Thank you so much i

great class

Wowww, I'm just now realizing that a lot of traditional gospel music that has the stomp, double clap pattern is in 3/4 time! Thank you so much for the Winnie The Pooh example! It was so helpful.

Thanks, well done. Could you say the tempo may be same, the difference is where the accented beat falls? One on odd beats, one on even?

I’m stuck with a melody’s time signature. It goes 1234 12345678. Can you help? If I clap it out it works with ⬇️👏 ⬇️👏 ⬇️👏 ⬇️👏 ⬇️👏 . 5 up & downs. It’s baffling me

This is sooo good
I really struggle with time signatures and rhythm in general, and this was really helpful 💜
I'm so glad I discovered your channel 😊

Really Helpful! Thanks!

Really helpful, thank you.

Lauv is 4 time I’m 5 and that’s why my part is better

you are the best!

Ave Maria

Great video! Good job.

Very good. Thanks....

Thank you so much ! I really helped me understand A LOT :D

I don't understand .. 😩

another example of a song that changes from 3/4 to 4/4 is A Taste of Honey. thanks to your technique I quickly spotted it!!

After watching so many videos, this is the one that finally made things click. That was awesome, I will devour any other video you have on time signatures. Thank you so much!

Thanks!

Down votes are from people who clap on 1 and 3!

Thank you!

that was a great shoulder bop

great explanation !

106 / 5000
What is the difference between a 6/8 measure (60 bpm); or 12/8 (60 bpm); or 3/4 (180 bpm) ??? Please, help me !

Very helpful... thanks

Almost every Classic Xmas song is in 3/4. One thing I don’t understand is what the 4 in 3/4 means. If each measure is 3 beats, then what’s the 4 represent? I can’t even begin to wrap my head around 5/4.

Winnie the Pooh, you are awesome! Thank you!

You are so underrated

Very helpful! Thanks

Thank you! This helps me understand the difference better than I have imagined!

Thank you so much!!
