Can You Beam Correctly in 6/8 Compound Time? - Music Theory

Can you figure out what the correct beaming of notes should be within this short piece of music written in 6/8 compound time? It’s one thing to be able to compose rhythms but how secure do you feel about beaming or joining notes together in a way that is appropriate to the time signature? If, for example, there are 6 quavers or eighth notes in a given bar why should they all be beamed together in 3/4 time but beamed in two groups of three in 6/8 time? This video will help to bring clarity to these matters of beaming. Come and join us, and get beaming!
