Today I’m going to explain you the difference between 3/4 and 6/8. Both have similar structures but, what does it make them different?
Subdivision
Picture 1
3/4 has a binary subdivision and 6/8 has a ternary subdivision, so what does that mean?
It means that in every pulse of 3/4 there can be till 2 eighth notes (look at the picture 1). 3/4 consists in 3 pulses and every pulse can contain till 2 eighth notes.
6/8 consists in 2 pulses and every pulse can contain till 3 eight notes.
Number 4 in 3/4 means quarter note and 8 eighth note.
If you still don’t understand or don’t have so clear this explanation, please, check my tutorial and with Made with code you will understand better because I give examples.
Remember! It’s not the same! 😀
