27 A Brief Explanation of Compound Time 3/8r6l8r9l&rand12 l8 Compound time is notorious for confusing students. Compound Time consists of any time signature with an 8 on the bottom.it is not necessarily more complicated. Just remember that in compound time, music is based upon THREE. There are three eighth notes per dotted quarter note. This is why the eighth notes are beamed in sets of three. In contrast, simple time is based upon TWO, with two eighth notes per quarter note. At first it may seem that these systems are the same. They are not. The difference lies in the strong beats. In simple time, the strong beat is divisible by two. In compound time, the strong beat is divisible by three. You MUST NOT attempt to turn 6 / 8 time into 3 I 4 time because time signatures are NOT fractions. They are indications of where rhythmic stress is located. See the break-out for each time signature below. 3 / 8 time: There are three eighth notes per measure with ONE strong beat per measure. It may be counted as follows: r,2,3 or "l I & a (Or as instructed by your teacher.) 6 / 8 time: There are six eighth notes per measure with TWO strong beats per measure.it may be counted as follows: 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 1 & u,2 &.u 9 / 8 time: There are nine eighth notes per measure with THREE strong beats per measure. It may be counted as follows: r,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 or I &u,2&u,3 &.u 12 I 8 time: There are twelve eighth notes per measure with FOUR strong beats per measure.
