This video about Note Duration’s per Measure explains how many beats you can achieve within a measure in music. If a Time Signature in music is in 4/4, it doesn’t necessarily mean you receive 4 quarter notes in that measure. Rather, it means you receive the duration of 4 quarter notes – which could mean any permutation of notes adding up to 4 full beats.

Love what you’re doing here. I played flute for 6 years, and tried to play guitar but I gave up. It’s cool that you’re helping people learn about music.

Hey man if its quarter note triplets… it is 3 quarter notes in the space of two… if it is a 16th note quintuplet like you have on this lesson… than it is 5 16 notes in the space of what? would it be in the space of 4 16th notes?
