3.  Music is a vocal or
instrumental sounds
combined in such a
way as to produce
beauty of form,
harmony, and
expression of
emotion.

4.  Music can be happy, sad, romantic, sleepy,
spine-tingling, healing—all kinds of things. But
what is it? Some people define it as an artful
arrangement of sounds across time. Our ears
interpret these sounds as loud or soft, high or
low, rapid and short, or slow and smooth. The
sounds need to continue for a time in some
sort of pattern to become music.

5.  Music is part of every
culture on Earth. Many
people feel that music
makes life worth living. We
can make music ourselves
if we play an instrument or
sing. We can hear music
on CDs and on radio or
television. Music gives us
pleasure. It can cheer us
up, excite us, or soothe us.

6.  It is the systematic
arrangement of musical
sounds, principally
according duration and
periodic stress , a
particular type of pattern
formed by rhythm.

7.  Rhythm is the pattern
of the notes. When
notes are grouped
together, they have
a rhythm, or beat.
The beat is what we
tap our feet to. Rock
music is known for its
strong beat.

8.  Expressing personal
feelings: relating to
poetry that often has
a musical quality and
expresses personal
emotions or thoughts.

9.  Music connects them
all. Music helps them
escape the mundane
reality and think about
something else. Music
‘speaks directly to their
soul.

10.  Overall, music does
have positive effects
on pain management.
Music can help reduce
both the sensation and
distress of both chronic
pain and
postoperative pain.

11.  Learning language,
improving memory
and focusing
attention, but also for
physical coordination
and development.

12.  Music entertains us. We listen to
show tunes, spirituals, pop,
opera, and rock. We have
favorite performers. We hear
music as the background in
movies. Perhaps we go to the
theater to see a musical—a
movie or play with music, singing,
and often with dancing. Music is
part of our lives.

13.  No one knows for sure when
music began. Perhaps while
people were working, they
began to chant or sing to
make the work go faster.
People who were repeating
movements—picking crops
or rowing boats, for
example—could sing or
chant in time to the work.
Navajo Indians, for
example, had corn-grinding
songs. Many cultures
developed work songs.

14.  Over time, people devel
oped musical
instruments. They might
have started by
clapping their hands
and stamping their feet.
Sticks and objects that
rattled could have
replaced the human
body as early
instruments. Both
instruments and music
became more complex
with time.

15.  Music goes along with many of
our activities. We dance to
music. We sing songs at school.
Many of us exercise to music.
Bands play at football games.
We hear music in cars and
stores. Music accompanies
many important occasions. At a
wedding, for example, the bride
marches down the aisle to
music.

16. Music has always be
en important to
religious
ceremonies. Music is
heard in Christian
churches, Jewish
synagogues, Islamic
mosques, and other
places of worship.
