A bar in music has, ever since music began to be recorded on paper, been recognised as a measure that is standard for most musicians, singers and dancers worldwide. It allows for the recording of musical notes, and the structuring of songs and musical pieces. Within the bar, there are a number of notes. Normally, and especially in certain cultures and styles such as those included in western music, there are a standard set of counts in a bar. This is not always the case though. When writing music, the composer will create something called a bar line, which is a vertical line. This vertical line divides up the bars in the sheet music. When it comes to how many counts there are in a bar, as stated earlier it is not always regular. But there are some uniform examples. For example, in most popular songs at the moment, a bar usually lasts for four counts. This means that the singer or player can count four beats, or counts, and then call that a bar. This allows rhythm to be kept, and also allows for the structuring of the song or piece of music, as well as dancing around that song or piece of music. Obviously, with more experimental music, and different sounds a composer may be trying to create, the number of counts in a bar can fluctuate. But the vast majority of music does contain just 4 beats per bar.
