If you’re playing 3/4 time, what type of note gets one beat?
A
half note
B
sixteenth note
C
quarter note
D
eighth note
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The time signature 3/4 tells a musician that a quarter note represents one beat in a measure (the lower number) and that there will be three beats in each measure (the top number).

Detailed explanation-2: -The 3/4 time signature means there are three quarter notes (or any combination of notes that equals three quarter notes) in every measure. As we learned in the prior lesson, because there is a 4 on the bottom, the quarter note gets the beat (or pusle).

Detailed explanation-3: -There are 2 main differences between 3/4 and 6/8: the number of beats in every bar and the value of those beats. In 3/4, we get three quarter note beats whereas in 6/8, we get two dotted quarter note beats.
