From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Music is an art form whose medium is sound. Common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike), "(art) of the Muses". The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions (and their recreation in performance), through improvisational music to aleatoric forms. Music can be divided into genres and subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to individual interpretation, and occasionally controversial. Within "the arts", music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art, and auditory art. To many people in many cultures music is an important part of their way of life. Greek philosophers and ancient Indian philosophers defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies. Common sayings such as "the harmony of the spheres" and "it is music to my ears" point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to. However, 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound can be music, saying, for example, "There is no noise, only sound." According to musicologist Jean-Jacques Nattiez, "the border between music and noise is always culturally defined—which implies that, even within a single society, this border does not always pass through the same place; in short, there is rarely a consensus.... By all accounts there is no single and intercultural universal concept defining what music might be, except that it is 'sound through time'." From Wikipedia under the

Q. What bands/songs do you enjoy listening to when doing homework? I can't concentrate without music, but can't concentrate with the majority of the music I own, so what music works with you? Asked by *Kaia* - Thu Jan 10 00:55:36 2008 - - 6 Answers - 11 Comments A. I have observed myself that my concentration level is higher when music is played in the background while I am doing any work. The best music is soft instrumental. Rock is too loud to distract you. If there are songs sung by someone are equally distracting as the lyrics and the modulation and pitch of voice distract. The most important thing to remember is that the music should be something very soft, soothing. Some which work best for me are a) Yanni - tracks - Nostalgia, Until last moment, One man, Nightingale b) Kitaro c) Titanic tracks - they are instrumental d) And if you like Indian music, then go for Sitar by Ravi Shankar e) Santoor by Shiv kumar sharma So, which one would you go for?

Q. What I am looking for is a textbook to learn music theory but doesn't assume you don't know how to read music. I can read music but just want more information about chord structures and more advanced items than learning how to read music. Any ideas of a good textbook? Asked by osunumberonefan - Mon Jul 24 22:47:44 2006 - - 4 Answers - 2 Comments A. Well it's hard to say where you're at from what you describe. You say you can read, but not how well. Therefore, let me suggest Practical Beginning Theory, by Bruce Benward. I use it to teach students myself. In fact, I'm so darn nice that I'm going to include the link to the book on Amazon. The second one down is a very good copy ;) Answered by Thom Thumb - Mon Jul 24 23:31:45 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Music" Music is an art form that involves sounds and silence.
