The language of music

The language of music:

• a note is a single sound at a particular pitch;
• a crescendo is a gradual rise in loudness or intensity;
• rhythm is the pattern of beats; tempo is the speed;
• pitch is how high or low a sound is; a scale is a series of notes going up or down;
• bass is the lowest part in music; a baritone is a male voice between high and low;
• cacophony is a harsh mix of loud, unpleasant sounds;
• a sense of musicality is a natural feel for music.

Tell them apart: rhythm is the beat, tempo is the speed, pitch is high or low.
