Question

In this time signature ,sixth and eighth
what gets 1 beat?

Answer 1

In music, time signatures indicate how many beats are in a measure and what note value is considered one beat.

1. **Sixth Time Signature (6/8)**:
- In 6/8 time, there are 6 eighth notes in a measure. Each eighth note gets 1 beat, but it is commonly grouped into two beats (each consisting of three eighth notes). So, in practical terms, you can think of it as two beats per measure, with each beat containing three eighth notes.

2. **Eighth Time Signature (8/8)**:
- In 8/8 time, there are 8 eighth notes in a measure, and similarly, each eighth note gets 1 beat. Like 6/8, 8/8 can also be interpreted in various ways depending on the context, but it can typically be felt as four beats per measure, with each beat consisting of two eighth notes.

In both cases, the eighth note is the note that gets 1 beat.
