ABSTRACT
Module 3a: Compound Beats and Their First Division and Multiple Note Values Meters are defined by the number of beats in a measure and the number of divisions in each beat. In compound meter, the beat is divided into three parts, and the beat-note value can be a dotted quarter, dotted eighth, or dotted half note. The divisions are always beamed in groups of three, and compound meters can be duple, triple, or quadruple. The multiple of the beat is twice the value of the beat-note.
