What is 6 4 timing?

6/4 Time Signature At slower tempos, 6/4 is counted with the quarter note equal to one beat, and six beats per measure. At faster tempos we can perform music in 6/4 with two beats in a measure and with the dotted half note equal to one beat.

Lesson 18: Other Time Signatures of 3/2 and 6/4

Lesson 18 Practice Patterns

3/2 Time Signature

In Lesson 11 we learned about cut time, the time signature in which the half note is equal to one beat. There are other time signatures with the half note equal to one beat, as well. Although most of these do not occur frequently, it is possible to have any number of beats in a measure, so you may encounter 3/2, 4/2, 5/2, 6/2, etc. 3/2 is fairly common, so this lesson will focus on that time signature. Each note value will be the same length as it is in cut time.

6/4 Time Signature

In this lesson we will also learn 6/4 time, which can be performed in two different ways. At slower tempos, 6/4 is counted with the quarter note equal to one beat, and six beats per measure. At faster tempos we can perform music in 6/4 with two beats in a measure and with the dotted half note equal to one beat. When the dotted half note is equal to one beat 6/4 becomes a compound meter with the beat subdivided into three equal parts. We can subdivide it using the same syllables as we did for 6/8. The examples below show how long each note value will be held when the dotted half note equals one beat.

Note value chart with the dotted half note equal to one beat

One dotted whole note = two dotted half notes = 2 beats:

One half note = two-thirds of a dotted half note = 2/3 of a beat: One quarter note = one-third of a dotted half note = 1/3 of a beat: One eighth note = one-sixth of a dotted half note = 1/6 of a beat:

How does a female narcissist behave?

While male narcissists might be more outwardly recognizable, female narcissists do exist. They tend to be more manipulative socially and can be just as vindictive as a male narcissist. They tend to play the victim, be overly jealous and competitive, superficial, and overbearing.

Set yourself up for success with a good night's sleep.*

Just as there aren't really innate differences between men's and women's personalities, there aren't exactly innate differences between male and female narcissists. But men and women are socialized differently and thus are more likely to develop specific personality traits, and these differences can be seen between male and female narcissists as well. "Although there are shared narcissistic traits between male and female narcissists, there are some differences in which their narcissism is exhibited," psychoanalyst Babita Spinelli, L.P., tells mbg. When male narcissists are angry, they tend to be aggressive and explosive (especially malignant narcissists). When female narcissists are angry, though, Spinelli says they'll punish their victims by withholding attention and affection. "Female narcissists utilize neglect or guilt as a form of control," she says, "whereas male narcissists are more likely to utilize power and status as a form of control." Another way both male and female narcissists gain control and affection is through codependent people. The psychoanalytic term for this is a "narcissistic supply." Male narcissists will generally get their supply from romantic partners, but a female narcissist's supply can come from her partner or her children. "The female narcissist sees her children as an extension of herself whereas the male narcissists do not lean in this direction," Spinelli says.
