Once you know about measures and time signatures, counting bars gets really easy. We explain this in the next section on Time Signatures. You wonвЂ™t get a complete picture until you know exactly how many beats each bar (measure) can hold. ThatвЂ™s what bar lines are - but you canвЂ™t end here. Note that if you donвЂ™t see a start repeat dot (pointing to the right), it means you go all the way back to the beginning of the song and repeat the entire song again.

Whenever you see the repeat symbol dots like shown above, it means that you have to repeat everything inside of the dots one time. The dots pointing out towards the left show that the repeat section has ended. The dots pointing outward to the right show that a repeat section is beginning. Repeat Symbol: The repeat symbol is easily recognizable with its two dots. Double bar lines are used by the composer to show that a certain section of the song came to an end.Д®nd Bar Line: If you see the end bar line, youвЂ™ve come to the end of the song. Just like with the single bar line, you donвЂ™t have to do anything but play right past it. You donвЂ™t stop here and you donвЂ™t need to do anything special - just play right past it.ДЄll a single bar line shows is the end of the вЂњcontainerвЂќ that holds a certain number of beats.Дouble Bar Line: This is the exact same as a single bar line with one difference: it indicates the end of a section of a song.

Single Bar Line: A single bar line indicates the end of a measure (or bar).
