Definition: the number of beats in a bar, it affects the feel and rhythms of the music.
These are all in COMPOUND meterEach beat splits into 3 quavers,
we count: 1 & a 2 & a
Listen carefully for the pulse or beat of the music. Do you hear divisions of two or three?
A simple test is to try saying "apple" or "pineapple"
to each beat:
"Apple" has two syllables and will fit simple meters.
"Pineapple" having three syllables fits compound meters.
This refers to the number of strong beats in a bar.
