Fundamentals of Music
Music has many different fundamentals or elements. These include but are not limited to: pitch, beat or pulse, rhythm, melody, harmony, texture, allocation of voices, timbre or color, expressive qualities (dynamics and articulation), and form or structure. In addition to these "fundamentals," other important concepts are employed in music both in Western and non-Western cultures, including "Scales and/or Modes" and "Consonance vs. Dissonance."
