Hearing vs Listening
• Passive listening (hearing) - being mildly aware of sound
• Active listening - concentrating on sounds.

Elements of Music
•Pitch
•Duration
•Dynamics
•Timbre
![Page 9: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Pitch
• High or low sounds (notes)
![Page 10: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pitch
• High or low sounds (notes)
• Melody - the “tune”. A series of pitches heard one at a time.
• Motive - a short, instantly recognizable idea. Like a musical "word". Usually, a melody consists of several motives.
![Page 11: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Pitch
• Harmony: Two or more sounds heard at the same time. Chords.
• Consonant - stable sound
• Dissonant - unstable sound
![Page 12: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Pitch
• Interval - The distance between two pitches.
• Conjunct - step (small interval)
• Disjunct - leap (large interval)
![Page 13: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Pitch
• Vibrato - a rapid, slight variation of pitch.
• Produces a stronger, richer tone.
• Done by voices and instruments (many, but not all).
![Page 14: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Pitch
• Phrase - Part of a melody - when singing, as much as you sing in one breath
![Page 15: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Pitch
• Shape - the contour of a melody - mapping out the highs and lows.
![Page 16: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Pitch
• Cadence - Resting place. Complete (final / permanent) or incomplete (temporary or a mid-way pause).
• A phrase will often end with a cadence.
![Page 17: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“The Ball”
• Watching an unfamiliar sporting event
• It is difficult to try to absorb all the rules and protocols immediately
• My advice, “Watch the ball”. The ball is the object of primary importance.
• Watch the ball to try to follow gameplay.
• In music, the melody is “the Ball”.
![Page 18: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Pitch = Frequency
• Frequency is measured in Hertz, or cycles per second.
• The sound wave vibrates a number of times per second, and it in turn produces a specific pitch or note.
• A=440 is a standard tuning pitch for instruments. 440 cycles per second is the pitch A.
![Page 19: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Frequency
• 440 Hertz is a tuning A.
• Human hearing commonly extends from 20 Hertz to 20,000 Hertz (or 20 KiloHertz KHz).
![Page 20: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Duration
• The element of time.
![Page 21: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Duration
• Beat - the steady pulse that flows through a piece of music.
• Fast or slow
• May be easy to hear (or feel), or it may not be.
• Nonmetric - If the beat is not evident.
![Page 22: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Duration
• Meter - how the beats are grouped.
• Most often in either in 2, 3 or 4 (most common)
• Usually first beat is accented.
• Occasionally, meter is in another grouping.
![Page 23: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Duration
• Tempo - the speed of the beats.
• Fast or slow.
• Remember, the beat usually remains steady
![Page 24: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Duration
• Rhythm - a pattern of beats and accents, shorts and longs.
• Often the rhythm is a pattern that repeats.
![Page 25: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Duration
• Syncopation - when the emphasis falls on a beat that is normally not accented.
• An exception in “classical” music, but a feature of “popular” music.
![Page 26: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Dynamics
• Volume. Loud or soft
• The relative loudness or softness.
• Relative - loud to a flute is not the same as loud to a trumpet!
![Page 27: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Dynamics
• p = piano - soft
• f = forte - strong (or loud)
• Mezzo- = medium or half
• -issimo = very

Dynamics
• pp = pianissimo
• p = piano
• mp = mezzo-piano
• mf = mezzo-forte
• f = forte
• ff = fortissimo
![Page 29: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Dynamics
• pp - p - mp - - mf - f - ff
• -3 -2 -1 (0) 1 2 3

Dynamics
• Crescendo - gradual increase in volume
• Decrescendo - gradual decrease in volume
• Subito - sudden change in volume
![Page 31: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Timbre
• A description of the actual sounds you are hearing.
![Page 32: ALL MUSIC HAS VALUE TO SOMEBODY. What is Music? The Organization of Sound in Time.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649ce15503460f949ab4fe/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Timbre
• Timbre can be a list of the instruments or voices that you hear.
• Timbre can also refer to the variations in tone color of a specific instrument (a bright guitar or dark voice).
