Music

Music is an art form and a cultural activity that involves organized sound and silence. It is characterized by elements such as pitch (melody and harmony), rhythm (tempo and meter), dynamics (loudness and softness), timbre (tone color or quality), and texture (the interplay of musical lines). Music can be vocal, instrumental, or a combination of both and serves various functions across different cultures, including entertainment, expression, communication, and ritual. It can be performed live or recorded and encompasses a wide range of genres, styles, and traditions. Music has been an integral part of human experience, reflecting social values, emotions, and experiences throughout history.
