The top number is 2 which tells you that there are two beats in each bar.

The bottom number is 4, which tells you that you are counting crotchets, or quarter notes.

This time signature is called SIMPLE TRIPLE. Simple because the beats that we are counting are made of plain, undotted notes.Triple because there are three beats to count.

The top number is 3 which tells you that there are three beats in each bar.
