How long is 20 bars, musically?

Question

I Have an audition for which i have to sing 20 bars. I'm not quite sure how to figure that out. The time is 4/4. So how long is 20 bars?

Answer 1

in 4/4 20 bars would be 80 beats. It would probably be easier to just count out the measures (bars). there is a line (bar) between each measure. just count 20 of them and you will have 20 bars. You probably cant read the script online, but you can get a synopsis at musicaltheatreaudition.com. or just google the show with the word synopsis in the search.  

Answer 2

20 bars musically is 20 measures of music. So that would be 20 sets of four counts each. That would be 80 counts. For the music man script just go to google and type in free play scripts and then you should be able to get it. If not, just type in Music Man script to google. Hope I helped!

Answer 3

Musically 20 bars is...20 bars.

Since it's in 4/4 time, each note gets one beat (a click of the metronome). So there will be 80 beats in all (20 x4).

Try google the script: type in Music Man script and it should give results.

Answer 4

i think its 80 seconds 4 beats per measure times 20 bars i wish i could help you with the script but i would google it.GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 5

I believe they're looking for you to keep it no longer than 2 minutes

Answer 6

I think 1 bar is 1 measure - in 4/4 time that would be 4 beats per measure, so 20 times 4 equals 80 beats . . .

Then it depends on the speed of the piece - at 80 beats per minute, it would be 1 minute .. . at 120 bpm it would be 40 seconds.

Answer 7

About 30 seconds.
