What is Music?

Music is a lyrical song that is put to a melody. The outcome is song that is played together to create a piece of music. That music is then a "track" and is either a single or part of a CD, which has multiple songs. The parts of music are lyrics, melody, rhythm, beat, accoustics, and the band-guittar, piano, bass, drums, etc. All of these parts come together to create a song which is considered music. The different genres of music are pop, rock, country, rap, r&b, hip-hop, jazz, folk, metal, childrens, and soundtracks. A lot of the time, music can fall under multiple catagories and does not strictly have to be one genre only. To me music is very important. Its a way that I can express my feelings because when im in a certain mood i like to listen to certain genres. Music is an outlet for me to express how im feeling at that particular moment. Music is a motivator to me, whether it be for excercise or simply for doing homework. The right type of music for the right time is crutial to my life. We read music by analyizing it the same way we do with a poem or a novel. We pick apart its words and try to analyze what those words are trying to say and what those words symbolize. We also can get a better "reading" of the song by simply reading the title. The title can tell us a lot about what the artist was trying to convey. Other ways to read music is to listen to the beat and rhythm to try to further understand what type of message the artist was sending out and what particular mood the song gives off. The different ways that music is expressed are through song, dance, theatrical performances, drama, tv shows, movies, plays, and musical theatre. Music is a very important element in all types of entertainment whether it be TV or movies- without music it would be a very dull and boring world.
