measure; a quarter note is the same as 2 eighth notes, so it is 2/6 or 1/3 of the measure.

To check that you have your length of notes correct simply add up all the notes within a measure and make sure they equal 1/1 or 1:


1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6 = 3/6 + 2/6 + 1/6 = 6/6 = 1

    The music “explanation” about 6/8 time was confusing and I am a music major. A better explanation of music fractions would be: The top part of the fraction tells the musician “HOW MANY” of a beat is in the bar. The bottom of the fraction says “WHAT TYPE” of note is equal to the beat. Anything with an 8 on the bottom means the eighth note gets the beat.
