    Music has several elements that work together, including dynamics which refer to the volume or loudness and softness of the music. Dynamics range from very loud fortissimo to very soft pianissimo. Melody is the tune of the music made up of notes of different pitches arranged in a particular order using rhythm, which is how the notes are arranged based on the individual lengths of notes.

    ELEMENTS OF MUSIC

    There are a whole lot of ‘elements’ in music. Just like


    ingredients in a cake, all the elements work together to
    form music that we play and listen to.

    DYNAMICS
    This is the VOLUME in music. The ‘louds’ and the ‘softs’.
    These help create the mood in a piece.

    Very Loud
    Fortissimo ff (very loud)

    Forte f (loud)

    Mezzo Forte mf (moderately loud)

    Mezzo Piano mp (moderately soft)

    Piano p (soft)

    Pianissimo pp (very soft)

    Very Soft

    MELODY
    This is the ‘tune’ in music – that bit you sing along to or
    play. It is made up of notes of different pitches that are
    arranged in a particular order. The notes are arranged also
    using rhythm.

    RYTHYM
    Rhythm is how the notes
    are arranged – the
    individual lengths of notes
    put together. They fall in-
    between or on the beat.
