What is "music"?

Music is a form of art that uses sounds organized in patterns and rhythms. These sounds can come from voices or instruments and are often arranged to create melodies, harmonies, and rhythms.

What is a "beat"?

In music or poetry, a beat is the basic rhythmic pulse that underlies the piece. It is the regular, recurring accent or emphasis that gives the music or poem its rhythm and helps to structure the flow. In music, beats are the foundation for creating rhythm patterns and are often felt as the steady thump or pulse that listeners can tap their feet to. In poetry, the beat helps to establish the flow and rhythm of the verses, contributing to the overall musicality of the language.

What is a "melody"?

A melody in music refers to a sequence of single notes played or sung in a specific order to create a recognizable and memorable tune. It is often the main musical line that stands out and is easily remembered. A melody typically has a clear rhythm and pitch, and it is usually supported by harmony and rhythm to form a complete musical piece. Melodies are central to most music, as they often carry the main theme or emotional content of the piece.
