👉Let us recall the different music
elements that you have learned from
your previous music lessons. All you
must do is thumbs Up if it is TRUE and
thumbs down if it is FALSE.
 RHYTHM
• Rhythm is the regular
repeated pattern of
sounds. It serves as the
pulse of the musical
composition. This
element has three
components: beat,
tempo and meter.
 TEMPO
• Tempo is the speed of
the beat. Every music
has its own speed
which depends on the
mood of the whole
music. Most happy
tunes are fast while sad
music is relatively slow.
 DYNAMICS
• The second element is about the
softness and loudness of the
music - the Dynamics. This can
be gradual (crescendo and
decrescendo) or sudden /
abrupt. Dynamics in music
suggests the emotional aspect of
the composition. Soft music
suggests themes such as love
while loud or strong music
suggests bravery or war.
 HARMONY
• The vertical arrangement of sound in a
musical piece is called Harmony. It is
the simultaneous sounding of two or
more notes.
• This element can refer to the chords
produced, the accompaniment styles,
and the countermelodies. Harmony has
two types, the consonance and the
dissonance. Consonant intervals in
music are more pleasant and seems like
“everything is ok”. Dissonant intervals
on the other hand produce a more
“creepy” sound. It shows tension and
needs to be resolved.
 TIMBER
• The timbre is the quality of
sound heard. If you and your
friend sing “Bahay Kubo” in
unison, you can easily
distinguish each other’s voice
based on the quality of the
sound of your voices.
 METER
The meter, which composes of time
signature is the combination of strong
beats (accent) and weak beats.
For example 44 (four four) time
signature is like counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 1,
2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on. This type
of meter is commonly used in pop
songs. In 34 time signature, you just
count 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 and so on.
This meter is commonly used in waltz
music. For the time signature 24 (two
four), you just count 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2
and so on. Marches, polkas use this
kind of meter.
 MELODY
• The next element is the most
obvious among all musical elements
– the Melody. It is the organized
sequence (horizontal) of single notes.
• In other words, it is the main tune of
the musical piece. It is what you
hear and what retains in your head.
It has two types, the conjunct and
the disjunct.
• The more singable or playable type
is the conjunct. The melody is easy
to sing because the notes have no
skips or leaps.
 TEXTURE
• Texture is all about the thickness of
the sound. In the three diagrams
below, the lines represent the
melodic movement of a musical
piece
