In 3/4 time there are three crotchets per bar. There is one strong beat, which is the first beat of the bar, followed by two weak beats. The quavers can be beamed right across two or three whole crotchet beats, but the first note of the group must fall on the beat, not on an off beat.

How do you group quavers in 4 4 Time?
In 2/4 and 4/4, four quavers next to each other are joined together by a beam. Figure 3 (see below) shows 4 quavers grouped together in 2/4 time. However, in 4/4, this is only done if the 4 quavers are in the 1st and 2nd beats of the bar (see figure 4) or in the 3rd and 4th beats of the bar (see figure 5).
How are quavers grouped in simple time?
The normal rule is that a set of notes which are all quavers or shorter should be grouped in whole beats, and each beat separated. The first two beats or the last two beats should be grouped together. unless there is three or more notes in a beat, in which case, each beat should be separate.
How do you rest a group in 3 4?
Thus, in a bar of 3/4, a crotchet is not followed by a minim rest, but by two crotchet rests, as shown in Example 34 (a). And a crotchet and quaver are followed, not by a dotted crotchet rest, but by a quaver and a crotchet rest, as shown in Example 34 (b). Each beat is shown clearly.
Why are quavers and Semiquavers joined together?
The quavers and semiquavers should be joined together to make the crotchet beat obvious. Beams never cross over the bar lines. The first note of a beamed group must never fall on an off beat, unless it's preceded by a rest or a dotted note.
