Let's Do Something New


This mini-course introduces eighth time with the most commonly used eighth time signature, 6/8 time.

6/8 time is most often felt as a duple compound meter. A compound meter means that the beats are divided into threes. This time signature often has a sort of list to the feel and sound of it.
