Music is a combination of rhythms, notes, and words that allows people to express their feelings and culture. There are many different genres of music like country, pop, rock, techno, disco, R&B, and classical. Instruments such as guitar, bass, drums, saxophone, banjo, cello, violin, clarinet, trombone, trumpet, tuba, and piano are key to making music. Notes like C, D, E, F, G, A, and B form patterns that give music its sound, along with flats and sharps that alter these basic notes.
