Abstract

There is hardly a universally satisfactory and acceptable definition of music because music has to do with expressions of mind and therefore what communicates with one person may not necessarily be with another, consequently what constitutes music for one person might be noise to another, But music whatever it is and whenever it is recognized is a method of expression which uses sound and rhythm. Some people think of music in terms of what is used for, who makes it and sometimes when it is made. But music has some components that must appear in it for it to be called music. a) Melody- This is the progression of sound or the tune b) Rhythm- Grouping of sound with regard to duration and stress measured by beat c) Harmony-This is more than 2 notes of different pitch sounded together. d) Texture- Interweaving of sounds Music in its making has its aesthetic values e.g, a) It involves feelings b) Focuses its attention on targets/ objects . c) Its experienced individually Music and life are inseparable.
