What BPM is 3/4 time?
The speed of the beat is known as "tempo". Most musicians are used to representing tempo as beats per minute, or BPM. This means that if your beat is a quarter note—as in 4/4 or 3/4—a tempo of 60 BPM means there are 60 quarter notes per minute, or one quarter note every second.
