@wallhackio @monorail yes which if you are conducting, that's three waves of the baton versus two, and if you are using a metronome, likewise, because those indicate the “down” beats (which are also, incidentally, the steps when dancing)

if you set a waltz in 6/8 the waltzers will be moving 2/3 as fast

@wallhackio @monorail (this is terse but what i mean is that i think the difference between middle school understanding of music and high school understanding of music is in high school you (should) appreciate good conducting and the use of a metronome a lot more, and the way 3/4 and 6/8 are conducted and set to a metronome is totally different)

(remembering of course that our musical notation was largely developed for classical music where conducting is an essential part of the performance)

(the difference between 4/4 and 2/2, on the other hand, is all vibes)

@wallhackio @monorail use a metronome
