Music is an art form whose medium is sound and silence. It uses elements such as pitch, rhythm, dynamics, timbre, and texture. Sound is created by vibrations, which our brain analyzes to perceive qualities of music like melody, harmony, beat, meter, and dynamics. Harmony refers to the combination of notes or chords played together and their relationship, while accompanying and supporting the melody.

1. MUSIC 101

2. Music is an art form whose medium is sound and silence. Its common elements
are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated
concepts tempo, meter,
and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. The
word derives from Greekμουσική (mousike; "art of the Muses").[1]

3. Sound is created when an object vibrates. These
vibrations are perceived by our ears and then sent
to our brain. Our brain in turn analyzes these
signals and let's us know what type of sound we are
hearing (i.e. an alarm clock ringing, a car horn
blaring, etc.). Music is differentiated from other
sounds because it has certain qualities. 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."

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.
