Question

GUITAR: When listening to music, one measure of three beats could be represented on a staff by

one whole note
one half note and one quarter note
two half notes
four quarter notes

Answer 1

Answer: one half note and one quarter note

A half note stands for 2 beats and a quarter note stands for 1. One half note plus one quarter note is 3 beats.

Answer 2

Three quarter notes, but you don't have that as an answer choice. The time signature 3/4 tells a musician that a quarter note represents one beat in a measure (the lower number) and that there will be three beats in each measure (the top number).

Hope this helped!
