There are several different types of meter based on the various patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables（Fig 3）
Trochee is the meter with stressed syllables followed by unstressed syllables. That is very similar to the music with a time signature of 2/4 （Fig 1） or 4/4（Fig 2）.
“Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”is one of the best examples of this pattern.
Questions：
