We're now going to look at our first eighth note time signature, 6/8. With the top number being "6" and the bottom number being "8", we can conclude that the 6/8 time signature represents six eighth notes in a measure.
You can count the beats of a 6/8 time signature as follows: "One Two Three Four Five Six"
Or, you can also count it like this: "One and Two and Three and"
