A song in 2/4 time signature and a song in 4/4 time signature could have the same tempo. The time signature (such as 2/4 or 4/4) indicates how many beats are in each measure and what type of note gets one beat. The tempo, on the other hand, refers to the speed of the music.
1. In both 2/4 and 4/4 time signatures, the quarter note receives one beat. This means that even though the number of beats per measure differs (2 beats in 2/4 and 4 beats in 4/4), the speed of the music can be the same if the tempo is consistent.
2. For example, a song in 2/4 with a tempo marking of 120 beats per minute could have the same speed as a song in 4/4 with the same tempo marking of 120 beats per minute. In this case, both songs would feel equally fast-paced even though they have different time signatures.
Therefore, the statement "A song in 2/4 and a song in 4/4 could have the same tempo" is True. Time signature and tempo are independent elements in music that can be adjusted differently while maintaining a consistent speed.
