What are the seven elements of music?

1. Tempo.--- The speed at which the notes are being played.

2. Timbre. Refers to quality of the sound being produced. For example, a violinist can change the tone of the sound by using a different bowing technique.

3. Melody. ---The sequence of notes being played by each instrument. Some argue that it is the most important part of a song.

4. Rhythm. --The recurring patterns of notes from instruments. Also called a beat.

5. Harmony.--- The relation between the different notes played by the different instruments. Analogy: a harmonious society where everybody gets along with everybody else. Essentially, harmonies must be created in such a way that no single note feels out of place.

6. Dynamics.-- Refers to the modifications applied to the music. For example, crescendo: is a gradual increase in the volume.

7. Form.--- The architecture of the piece. The way in which different phrases are arranged.
