Prayer
Heavenly Father and Your Beloved Son Jesus
Christ, Thank you for another life to enjoy,
another day to learn, and a new set of things we
will experience. As we go through our lessons
today, may let us be instruments to do good
things. Help us be obedient, honest, and kind to
one another. Amen.
Music is measured through the use of time
signature. The rhythm of the song depends on the time
signature too. The time signature is written at the
beginning of the staff after the clef and the key
signature.
In the previous lesson, you have learned the
different simple time signatures such as 2/4, 3/4 , and
4/4. In this lesson, you will learn about a compound
time signature with 6/8 as an example.
What’s In
Direction: Identify the kinds of notes and rests found in the
following musical lines:
1.
4.
2.
5.
3.
What’s New
Compound Time Signature
Did you know that in music we can use varied time
signatures?
You have already learned the different simple time
signatures. In this lesson you will learn about a compound time
signature. A compound time signature tells that the beats will
be divided into three equal parts. Which means, each beat
contains a triple pulse. Shown below is an example of a 6/8
time signature.
Conducting pattern
What is It
Directions: Analyze the musical score of Dandansoy and answer the questions below.?
What kinds of notes/rests are used in the musical score?
What other musical symbols are found in the score?
What part of the beat is the first note of the song?
What note receives one beat in 6/8 time signature?
Which note has the longest duration? How many beats does it receive?
How many beats are there in every measure?
What’s More
The 6/8 Time Signature
The 6/8 time signature is called a compound meter. It means that there
are six bats in a measure. The lower number 8 tells the kind of note that gets
one beat. Since 8 is the lower number, the note that receives one beat is
eighth note ( ). Any time signature with 6 on top is a compound duple.
A rhythmic pattern is a combination of notes and rests which is based on
the given time signature of a song or composition
A. Direction: Identify the missing note needed in the rhythmic pattern. Write your
answer on a separate sheet.

What I Have Learned
Time signature is written at the beginning of the staff after the
clef and the key signature.
A time signature consists two numbers; the upper and the
lower number.
In 6/8 time signature, there are 6 beats in each measure and
an eighth note receives one beat.
6/8 is a compound time signature.
What I Can Do
Direction: Differentiate the following time signatures by giving
their meaning.

Assessment
Directions: Read and understand each item carefully. Write
the letter of the correct answer on a separate sheet of paper.
