a: time signature ~
b: a fraction

What:

"Rhythm and Patterns are easy to see and feel! Musical notation is comprised of fractions - whole note, half note, quarter note, eighth note etcetera. Patterns of these notes are grouped into different measures or bars that are given a time signature. The time signature is like a fraction of which the numerator is the number of beats per measure and the denominator represents the type of note getting one beat. The arrangement of the rhythm in a repetitive pattern of strong and weak beats provides for the meter of the music."
