What is It
Music plays a very important role in our daily lives. Music is the art of combining and
regulating sounds of varying pitch to produce melodious harmony expressive of
various ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm,
tempo, melody, form, harmony, timbre, and dynamics.
ELEMENTS OF MUSIC:
• Rhythm – is the basic element of music, the only one which can exist
independently of the others. It means the placement of sounds in time and
beats of music.
• Melody – refers to the tune of a song or a piece of music.
• Tempo – the Italian word at the beginning of a musical piece that indicates how
slow or fast the piece or music.
• Timbre – is also known as tone color. It refers to the quality of sound of one
voice or instrument.
• Texture – refers to the number of layers as well as the type of layers used in a
composition and how these layers are related. It may be:
1. monophonic – single melodic line
2. polyphonic – two or more melodic lines
3. homophonic – a main melody accompanied by chords
• Dynamics – refers to the degree of loudness or softness of a piece of music. It
also indicates whether there is a change in volume.
• Harmony – refers to the combination of notes played together and the
relationship between a series.
• Pitch – is the relative lowness and highness of the sound.
