 Introduction

 Music is an art form, and cultural activity,


whose medium is sound. It is made of sounds,
vibrations, and silent moments.

 General definitions of music include common
elements such as pitch, rhythm, dynamics, and
the sonic qualities of timbre and texture (which
are sometimes termed the "color" of a musical
sound). Making music is the process of putting
sounds and tones in an order, often combining
them to create a unified composition.
 Pitch is a perceptual property
of sounds that allows their ordering
on a frequency-related scale or more
commonly, pitch is the quality that
makes it possible to judge sounds as
"higher" and "lower" in the sense
associated with musical melodies.
 Melody is the series of
coordinated pitches that form the
main line of a tune. When we
speak of 'voice' in this way, it
might be a human voice or an
instrumental one.
 Harmony refers to multiple lines of
musical notes that are subordinate to
the melody and complement it. You
can hear the harmony, but it's not as
prominent as the melody. Harmony is
often formed by a series of chords, or
three or more notes played at the
same time.

A chord, in music, is
any harmonic set of pitches
consisting of
multiple notes. Especially,
3 or 4 notes are played
simultaneously in harmony.
 In music, the dynamics of a piece is the
 variation
in loudness between notes or phrases.

 Dynamics are indicated by specific musical


notation. Dynamics can make the listener
feel different emotions. Musicians will
change whether they play a part quietly or
loudly depending on how they want the
listener to feel.
 In music, Rhythm is the repeated
patterns of movement in sound.
Basically, it is the placement
of sounds in time. It involves specific
units of sound arranged as beats. Also
important to rhythm is the idea
of tempo, or the speed at which the
beats are performed.
 Tempo (Italian for "time") is the speed or pace
of a given Music piece.
 The speed at which your patterns play back is
called the tempo. Tempo is measured
in beats per minute or (BPM). So if we talk
about a piece of music being "at 120 BPM,"
we mean that there are 120 beats (pulses)
every minute.
 What's a "beat?"
 People commonly use the word "beat" to
mean "a pattern (or rhythm) played by
drums." The thing you're making when you
create and play patterns in these lessons is "a
beat."
 But, confusingly, there's another use of the
word "beat," which means "a regular,
repeating pulse that underlies a musical
pattern." People tap their foot along with "the
beat" in this context.
 A music genre is a conventional category that
identifies some pieces of music as belonging to a
shared tradition or set of conventions.[1] It is to
be distinguished from musical form and musical
style, although in practice these terms are
sometimes used interchangeably.
 Music can be divided into different genres in
varying ways, such as into popular music and art
music, or religious music and secular music. The
artistic nature of music means that these
classifications are often subjective and
controversial, and some genres may overlap.
Academic definitions of the term genre itself
vary.
 What is a staff notation in music?

 In Western musical notation, the staff (US) or


stave (UK) (plural for either: staves) is a set of
five horizontal lines and four spaces that each
represent a different musical pitch or in the
case of a percussion staff, different
percussion instruments.
 When written on a staff, a note indicates a pitch
and rhythmic value. The notation consists of
a notehead (either empty or filled in), and
optionally can include a stem, beam, dot, or flag.

 Staff

 Notes can’t convey their pitch information


without being placed on a staff. A staff consists
of five horizontal lines, evenly spaced. The plural
of staff is staves.
