in music we learnt about the elements our first assement was too choose a song and write about it using the elements. the musical elements: When you listen to a piece of music, you'll notice that it has several different characteristics; it may be soft or loud, slow or fast, combine different instruments and have a regular rhythmic pattern. All of these are known as the "elements of music." > > > > >
 * **beat and meter** - In order to define meter, let's first define beats. Beats give music its regular rhythmic pattern. Beats are grouped together in a measure; the notes and rests corresponds to a certain number of beats. Meter refers to rhythmic patterns produced by grouping together strong and weak beats. Meter may be in duple (2 beats in a measure), triple (3 beats in a measure), quadruple (4 beats in a measure) and so on.
 * **dynamics** - Dynamics are abbreviations or symbols used to signify the degree of loudness or softness of a piece of music. It also indicates whether there is a change in volume.
 * **Harmony** - In general, harmony refers to the combination of notes (or chords) played together and the relationship between a series of chords. But to give you a better understanding of harmony, let's first define melody. Melody refers to the tune of a song or piece of music. It is created by playing a series of notes one after another. Harmony accompanies and supports the melody. It is created by playing a group of notes (either simultaneously or as broken chords) behind the melody thus giving it musical texture.
 * **Key** - Also known as tonality; a principle in music composition wherein at the end of the piece there is a feeling of completion by going back to the tonic. The tonic (main key or home key) is the principal pitch of a composition. Simply put, key refers to the central note (i.e. key of C), scale (i.e. C scale) and chord (i.e. C Major triad)
 * **Melody** - It refers to the tune of a song or piece of music. it is the memorable tune created by playing a succession or series of pitches.
 * **Musical Instruments and Voice** - Musical instruments are classified as percussion strings, woodwinds brass and keyboards. Another method of classifying musical instruments according to the type of vibrating material used to produce sound is called the sachs homboste;. Our voice is also considered a musical instrument. Each of us has a different voice type or vocal ranges and no two voices are alike.
 * **Music Notation** - Refers to the symbols used to represent music when writing it down. These symbols specify the pitch, rhythm and meter of a piece of music.
 * **melody is a combination of low and high pitches the tune**
 * 5 lines of the treble clef staff going up are e,g,b,d,f every good boy deserves food
 * what is the c major scale c,d,e,f,g,a,b,c
 * if you put a sharp in front of a not it raises it up half a step
 * if you put a sharp in front of a not it raises it up half a step

**range**
=**melody**=
 * wide
 * loud ,big, high pitches
 * moderate
 * more together
 * narrow
 * squished

=**tonality**=
 * major deep
 * minor sad gloomy
 * modal low

=**range**=
 * major based on a majpr scale
 * minor based on a minor scale
 * changes may occur suddenly


 * wide notes used over high and low
 * moderate noters are mostly higher lowere
 * narrow few notes are close few notes are used
 * conected notes move by stepor small leaps
 * disjointed notes move by wide leaps


 * harmony** voices all at the same time well played.

=**tempo and dynamics**=


 * tempo is the speed of music**
 * dynamics is the treatment of volume**


 * tempo**

fast, slow, moderate steady, or changin, accelerating , or deccelerating

piano =soft mezzo= moderate forte= loud mezzo piano= moderatlly soft mezzo forte= moderatlly fast crescendo= gradually getting louder diminvendo= gradually getting softer changer= may be sudden
 * dynamics**

=**Rhythm**=
 * rhythm is the placement of sound in time**

polyrythmic multiple rhythm layers are layered simple most sounds fall on the beat syncopated empahsis is placed off the main beat

=**form**=
 * form is the blue prints of a piece of music**
