welcome to music lessons with mrs morris
00:00:04
today we are going to learn about the
00:00:06
elements of music
00:00:07
the elements of music are the building
00:00:09
blocks that make music
00:00:11
interesting when combined together they
00:00:13
can make music sound amazing
00:00:15
let's take a look at each element its
00:00:17
definition
00:00:18
and how it works in music
00:00:22
melody is a series of notes connected
00:00:24
together to express one idea
00:00:27
in classical music an organized melody
00:00:29
is called a theme
00:00:30
a composer is considered successful when
00:00:33
the listener continues to remember the
00:00:34
melody
00:00:35
even when the song is over like the song
00:00:38
you just listened to
00:00:41
harmony is when two or more notes are
00:00:42
played together if you were looking at a
00:00:44
music score you would see these
00:00:46
organized groups of notes
00:00:48
stacked on top of each other to create a
00:00:50
chord
00:00:51
chords can have a major minor or even
00:00:54
dissonant sounds
00:00:55
that can set the mood of a song making
00:00:58
it's unhappy
00:00:59
sad or even dreamy
00:01:04
[Music]
00:01:11
rhythm is music's way of telling time it
00:01:14
is the organization
00:01:15
of a variety of beats that create rhythm
00:01:19
rhythm makes people want to tap their
00:01:20
feet clap their hands
00:01:23
or just get up and dance
00:01:31
[Music]
00:01:39
wow that was a lot of fun but i have a
00:01:41
lot more musical elements to teach you
00:01:43
about
00:01:44
so let's move on meter tells us how many
00:01:48
beats there are in a measure
00:01:49
such as three-quarter time three-quarter
00:01:52
time gets three beats in a measure
00:01:54
it is the type of music you would hear
00:01:56
in a waltz
00:01:57
like one two three one two three one
00:02:01
two three four four time or common time
00:02:06
is most often used in music you can hear
00:02:09
this meter in a composition for a
00:02:11
marching band
00:02:22
tempo determines how fast or slow a song
00:02:24
will go
00:02:25
it is the heartbeat or the pace of music
00:02:29
italian words are used to describe the
00:02:31
various temple markings
00:02:33
largo means slow and presto means
00:02:36
fast and of course there are several
00:02:39
other temple markings in between
00:02:41
the temple of music will help to
00:02:43
determine the emotion of the music
00:02:45
slower music might make a person feel
00:02:47
sleepy or sad
00:02:49
but fast music will make people feel
00:02:51
joyful or happy
00:02:53
or maybe want to get up and dance again
00:02:55
[Applause]
00:03:01
combining rhythms meter and tempo
00:03:02
together can create
00:03:04
many different styles of music the
00:03:06
combinations
00:03:07
are limitless dynamics tell us how loud
00:03:11
or soft to play music
00:03:13
italian words are used again to describe
00:03:16
how music should be played
00:03:18
a word like pianissimo tells us that we
00:03:21
should play the music very soft
00:03:24
and the word like mezzo forte means to
00:03:27
play the music medium loud
00:03:29
you might also see a sign that looks
00:03:31
like a v on its side
00:03:33
and that means crescendo or get louder
00:03:46
timbre is an interesting word it looks
00:03:49
like the word timber
00:03:50
but it's pronounced timbre timbre is the
00:03:53
characteristic sound that distinguishes
00:03:55
one
00:03:56
instrument from another instrument for
00:03:58
example
00:03:59
what sound do you hear playing right now
00:04:03
if you guessed flute you are correct
00:04:09
texture is an interesting element as
00:04:11
well
00:04:12
texture combines melody harmonies
00:04:15
rhythms and tavres to create an overall
00:04:18
sound
00:04:18
of a piece of music and our last element
00:04:22
is form form is the road map of music
00:04:26
one of the most common forms is aba
00:04:29
form and is heard in many kinds of music
00:04:32
from jazz to classical
00:04:34
to even pop music but we will learn more
00:04:37
about that in a future lesson
