Everyone loves music, but have you ever thought how 1)
are in a piece of music? The answer is just four: melody, harmony, rhythm and
dynamics. Let's take a closer look at them.
Melody: This is the tune which we hear when we listen to a piece of music. The
melody is made up of single tones, or pitches, played one after the other. When we
talk about the tone or pitch of a sound, we mean how high or low it is.
Harmony: There are a 2) of different notes and chords. Harmony is how
they sound when they are played at the same time. Even if you don't know 3)
about music, you'll know when a song isn't in harmony because it will sound terrible!
Rhythm: This means 'musical time'. Rhythm helps to organise music by dividing it
into small sections between each strong beat. There are a 4) different
patterns, such as every two, three or four beats. We can play music at different speeds,
too. We call the speed of music the tempo.
Dynamics: These tell the musicians how to play a piece of music. 5) parts are
quiet, while others are loud.
There aren't 6) rules for writing music, but musicians always think of these
four elements when they do so. They put them all together to make what we know
simply as a 'song'
