Answer 1

Conducting pattern for time signature:

Explanation:

• Simple Time is 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4 and  top number indicates how many beats to a measure and the bottom number, 4, indicates that a quarter note gets one beat.  

• Compound Time is 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8 and  the bottom number, 8, indicates that an eighth note gets one beat.

• 6/8 (for example) may be thought of as getting six counts, but two beats.

• The pulse is in two, with two subdivisions: 1-2-3, 4-5-6 (each beat is an eighth note) and it is conducted in two.  

• Similarly, 9/8 is three pulses per measure and 12/8 is four pulses per measure.
