Changing Time Signatures of Classical Music

Hi, I'm Scott Smith with Expert Village. Right now we're going to talk about time signatures. It's a little bit advanced, but I'll try to make it easy to understand. Rock n' Roll primarily is written in 4/4 that means 4 beats per measure. Classical music is written in 4/4 but a lot of it was written in 3/4, that's 3 beats per measure, or as some people will call it, "a waltz." I'll give you an example. That's 3 beats per measure. That's 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3. Here's the same song, played in 4 beats per measure. I'm going to force 4 beats per measure onto it.
