For Primary students who take music ..
WHAT IS MUSIC ?
Music is defined as an art of sound
in time that expresses ideas either
good or bad and emotions of
happiness, sorrow, pain , anguish ,
excitement ,stress and calmness in
significant forms. By forms we
mean the over roll structure of a
piece of music . This expression of
ideas and emotions is done through
elements of rhythm which is the
combination of long and short
musical notes and by musical notes
we talking about symbols that
indicate the different lengths of
sound like crotchets, minims
,quavers a few just to mention.
Through melody. which is the tune
of a song or a series of high and low
sounds along side rhythm. Through
harmony which has to do with two
or more sounds with different pitch
levels played or sang at the same
time, and when we mention the
word pitch we are simply referring
to the highness and lowness of
sound. The other element is tone
colour. Which simply looks at the
unique quality of a voice or sound
of a musical instrument.
