Time signature Question!!!

[1instrument]

YO! If a piece of music has ten quarter notes total, would it be wrong to call it 5/4? Holla back!

[Little Jeans]

it depends on how many beats per measure

the top number is howmany beats per measure and the bottom number is what size not the beat is on

examples:

4/4 there are four quater notes per measure
6/8 six beats on the eighth note

12/8 shuffle in A = pure sex. Seriously. But no one plays shuffles anymore.

mm 7/8

5/4 is five quarter notes, not 10. That would like 10/4, or 5/2. Pretty creative.

My fave is 7/8 :wow:

[heyRomanticA__x]

6/8 is my favorite. It was always the easiest for me.

[anishkabob]

10 quarter notes could be 2 measures of 5/4.

it could also be 5 measures of 2/4.

depends on the phrasing.

I just wrote a sweet song on piano in 6/8. It's my first in an alternate time signature.
