Odd time Signatures

Lesson we looked into today was on the peculiar odd time signatures - Where we looked at 3/4, 5/4, 5/8, 6/4, 7/4, 7/8, 11/4 and 11/8. Obviously the top number being the amount of the bottom number and the bottom being the fraction so 5-11 over 4 is 5 quarter notes or 7 quarter noters and onto 11 quarter notes- the same applies to 8th notes- just 6 8th notes or 9 8th notes. So technically quarter note bars end up being longer over 8th note bars- this works in that 7/8 ends on count 4 (so just take off an "and") and then 7/4 would just be a bar of 4/4 and a bar of 3/4 put together or 2/4 and 5/4- 11/4 could be a mix of 6/4 and 5/4 or 4/4 and 7/4 or 4/4, 4/4 and 3/4 etc.

Below is the 5/8 Odd time signature-



Next up are the 7/4 and 7/8 odd time signatures plus fills.
