The Difference Between 3:4 and 6:8 Time Signatures - Music Theory

Garth Greene explains the differences between 3/4 and 3/8 time signatures, focusing on their mathematical and musical implications. He discusses how the upper and lower numbers in time signatures define the number of beats and the type of notes in each measure. The video also covers the distinction between simple and compound time, using examples like 6/8, 9/8, and 12/8. Greene highlights that while 3/4 and 3/8 are mathematically different, they can be musically similar, with the choice often depending on the composer's preference for tempo and score appearance.
