The Difference Between 3/4 and 6/8 Time Signatures - Music Theory
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2024
- What is the difference between 3/4 and 6/8 time signatures? Mathematically it appears that 3/4 and 6/8 are two versions of the same thing. On the face of it, there may appear to be little difference between music in 3/4 time or music in 6/8 time. Musically they are quite distinct, 3/4 being a Simple Triple time and 6/8 being a Compound Duple time. In this music theory lesson the detail of this is unpacked and examples played that demonstrate the essential differences. It is important for players and composers alike to grasp this topic in order to avoid confusing the two. By the end of this music theory lesson you will hear a distinct difference and it will help you to communicate the distinction between the two time signatures in the music you perform.

I just don't know how to thank you sir.... This lesson was very very important to me, because it's been a year I've learned to read staff notation, but I just completely understand those numbers today.. before watching this I only understand the upper number, and a huge confusion was left in me about the lower number, and you just cleared it... I deeply thankful to you.. take love from 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩 sir.

Ditto
Thank you.
The basic difference to me as a percussionist is each meter creates the basic stress points of the eighth notes. In 3/4 it's 3 duples, 1+2+3+. In 6/8 it's 2 triples 123,456. Beats 1 and 4 being the strong beats. In manys cases the 2 meters are interchangeable depending on how you accent the rhythm.
Composers generally pick one or the other depending on basic stress points they want to hear rhythmically in any given phrase. In a lot of Latin American orchestral music you'll often see the meter switch back and forth between 3/4 & 6/8 depending upon when the composer wants to hear duples or triples, while the eighth note tempo remains the same.
It's all about using notation to aid the musician to, " feel it baby, feel it"!
Absolutely
I agree

I have known for years that there is a difference between 3/4 and 6/8, but you have done a great job of explaining why. My favorite rhythms on the piano are 9/8 and 12/8. They have such a wonderful “swing” to them, with the various sets of triplets involved. Thank you!

Thank you, Mr Green, for the most straightforward simplest English in which you can tell the difference of simple & compound time. I'm listening to the words and ideas you're able to ennunciate come as "music" to my ears. A non-native speaker of your language, I am very appreciative of your insights of music AND your ability to get through to me. Thanks again.

Nice explanation. I play Irish music, so the best way we distinguish, especially for those whose don't read music well, is to say that 3/4 is basically a waltz time, while 6/8 is essentially a jig time. The key is, as you finally got around to saying, the number of beats in the bar. The waltz is a 3-beat bar, while the jig is a 2-beat bar.
Absolutely and that works especially well for Irish music. Slow 6/8 tempi cause people more trouble in my experience because then it’s not a jig but the principle is the same.

@@MusicMattersGB If you have two dotted quarters in a 3/4 measure, how is that different than two quarters in a 2/4 measure, since tempos can vary within time signatures? Both situations would be two equal length notes per measure.
That could be possible if you matched up the tempo…
Thanks for making this. I've been struggling with time signatures and you've made something click in my head. Your delivery is great too.
That’s great. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
Thanks to the RUclips algorithm, I ran into this video. I'd never really given a thought to it and then reminisced about playing Minuano some 25 yesrs ago.
The Bob Lowden arrangement written in 6/8, with a bass part playing 3/4 time, horn parts shifting between phrases with a 3/4 feel and phrases with a 6/8 feel.
Great example. Much more at www.mmcourses.co.uk
Thankyou for this clear explanation of the nuance differences between these two time signatures. I have played the bass for years and this has helped my understanding enormously. Thanks!

I think it really can help to set things out like this on a whiteboard and to then go through examples as you show in this video is a very effective way of making things clearer.
Thank you very much for this video , have a lovely day
P.S I am an intermediate piano player and I skipped two grades, not having much actual basic music theory knowledge so these videos are very useful to me !

Well this was very diffent? On a more serious note thank the Lord someone has taken the time to explain this. I have a drummer friend who said he didn't like taking a solo in 3. I said to him: don't think of it as 3 but feel it as 6. . . . . . And now you have just corrected diffence . . . . . . as I'm watching. Great explanation thank you so much x

This information is very clearly presented and all musicians and especially songwriters should know this! I always approached it this way, but I couldn’t articulate it like this. As a professional drummer, the wacky thing is when someone writes a chart or score that should be in 6/8 but they write it in 3/4….and vice versa! It’s crazy and the counting is whacked!
Absolutely

HALLELUYA!! After 45 years, I FINALLY understand and "get it"! i went to boarding school with a 1st class music department, and was always very musical, but despite spending 4 years studying music theory, i got none of it in truth, and this has quite literally haunted me ever since, as i want to be able to make sense of it all, as my type of music is very complex, and it would help me to understand more. Anyway - `many thanks for clearing that up, and i will now rummage through your other materials!
That’s fabulous. Have a look at our step by step theory courses at www.mmcourses.co.uk
As an ex band member guitarist in a rock band, we covered a few track from Status Quo, which many criticise as being "dead easy" to play. I always challenge them to play the intro of "Whatever You Want", which is of course played in 6/8 timing. But with just the lead guitarist, with no drum track, it is not always obvious, and catches out many who try to play it for the first time.
Absolutely

I was just having a similar discussion with a composition student. Even though he plays the drums, he really didn’t understand meter as a function of rhythm. It has been my experience that many performing musicians don’t fully understand this concept, and as a result, don’t always play with an accurate feel. Composers need to understand this so their pieces accurately reflect the rhythmic expression they wish to convey. Thank you for a concise explanation of this important musical concept.
Absolutely
Very well explained.
That’s most kind

I learned reading music year by year in grade school through to high school music and band classes and must be known to get into school marching bands or bands or orchestra settings or such as military bands and music groups with instruments and vocals.

A great composer and music teacher of mine often said that our notation system was an imperfect solution with no better system available, meant to be a musical guide as to what notes to play and when. But all of the subtle musical nuance is impossible to notate (exact note start and stops, exact dynamics, pushing and delaying the notes for feeling, etc etc...). The notes are meant to help us recreate the composition over time, as a document meant to preserve the composer's notes. Here lies the world of musical performance teaching and the various interpretations that it requires. Though certain interpretations of the great classical works have become accepted, there is always room for new ways of playing these notes and rhythms and many teachers ready to teach them over their lifetimes! The beauty of notating our musical ideas is that it forces us to make choices as composers, and performers of our own compositions. By writing our ideas down on paper we are making a physical choice that this is our preferred note here which may seem simple but in fact and creates a lot of self discovery. See, often when we play our musical unwritten ideas, they go by quickly without concern. But when we write them down we take responsibility for those notes on paper and we have to say, yea, that is my preferred note choice here. It becomes something of a model composition for what we may have only improvised in different ways until this notation step. As a composer you are saying, I like this way as my standard arrangement, and now you might improvise on it or play variations but you always have authorship of this exact composition for future musicians to reference, interpret, and play.
Absolutely

A very nice explanation of the difference between 3/4 and 6/8. I always thought of 6/8 as a version of 2/4 (for marches) with triplets built in.

Yes, I see 12/8 as 4 'swung' triplets.
It’s certainly a way of accessing 12/8.
Correct, 6/8 traditionally is a Marching Rhythm and has a triplet feel like an old English Sea Shanty.
Thanks for reminding me of what I forgot . I played clarinet jr and high school, and I loved it. I also understand why I also had so many headaches then as well.😁

As a drummer, I have always loved 6/8 time. For me, 6/8 is a "half-time feel". I enjoy playing halftime feels because as the name implies the rhythm feels like it is playing at half the speed of the "normal" rhythm. For example in 3/4 I will place the bass drum on beat 1 and will either play the snare on 2 and 3 or just 3. When I play in 6/8 I play the bass drum on beat 1 and move the snare to beat 4 (which in 3/4 would be the + of 2) which "elongates" the groove and makes it feel more relaxed. Anyway, that is how I see it. Thanks!

Awesome job! If you can make more videos on meters like this but composite meters added and tuplets, I would be eternally grateful!
We have other videos on time signatures with more on the way.
As a beat producer, I've written music pieces in 6/8, that had a very interesting feel to them. The songs felt like they where slower than their actual tempo. I'd write a song in 6/8 at 120bpm, but it sounded like it could pass as a 4/4 song at 90bpm with a bit of swing thrown in the beat. Watching this video on 3/4 vs 6/8 really helped me understand the feel of the time signatures better. Thank you very much! 😁

i used to think of 6/8 as a 2/4 where everything is triplets. that's fundamentally what's happening but the patterns in 6/8 aren't typical triplet patterns
It’s good to know the real difference
