Feeling the Difference Between 3/4 and 6/8 Time Signatures

Time signature can be a confusing topic, but it doesn't have to be! In this video, I use clapping patterns to help you get a feel for the difference between 3/4 and 6/8 time signatures. These clapping patterns make it easier to feel the beat of a song, and using them will make you a more natural and intuitive musician.
A song in 3/4 time has three beats per measure and is counted 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3... This time signature is often referred to as waltz rhythm. For songs in 3/4 time, we count quarter notes (indicated by the 4) in sets of three (indicated by the 3). For songs in 6/8 time, we count eighth notes in sets of six. Eighth notes are shorter than quarter notes, so when we're playing in 6/8 time we have to count faster!
