Music is generally defined as the art of arranging sound to create some combination of form,

[1][2][3]
harmony, melody, rhythm, or otherwise expressive content. Definitions of music vary
[4] [5]
depending on culture, though it is an aspect of all human societies and a cultural universal.
While scholars agree that music is defined by a few specific elements, there is no consensus on
[6]
their precise definitions. The creation of music is commonly divided into musical composition,
[7]
musical improvisation, and musical performance, though the topic itself extends into academic
disciplines, criticism, philosophy, psychology, and therapeutic contexts. Music may be performed or
improvised using a vast range of instruments, including the human voice.
