|At the end of a song is a final double bar line which indicates the end of the piece. |

|[pic] |A time signature consists of two numbers placed at the beginning of a piece of music. |
The top number tells you how many beats are in each measure.
The bottom number will tell you which rhythm gets one beat. (The 4 stands for the quarter note getting one beat)
In the beginning the only numbers you will see in the top are 3 or 4. In the bottom you will only see a 4 at this point. (more on time signature later) [pic]
