Basic Elements of Music

Rhythm = The relative speed at which a musical piece is played. Pitch = Represents the perceived fundamental frequency of a note. Timbre = The individual tonal color of each musical instrument. Tempo = The beat or steady pulse of music.

Duration = The length of each sound or silence. Dynamics = The loudness or softness of the music. Timbre = The perceived high or low sounds of a note. Form = The structural outline of the piece or sections.

Pitch = Graphically represented on a staff. Rhythm = Represented by symbols called notes and rests. Timbre = Represented by the tone color of an instrument. Dynamics = Represented by volume levels.
