internet sources.

A.ELEMENTS OF RHYTHM

1 BEAT The beat is the fundamental rhythmic unit

of a measure, or bar, and should not be
confused with rhythm in general. The
underlying pulse of a piece of music can
also span more than one beat.

Tempo means the speed at which a piece of

music should be played. As with many
2 TEMPO
other musical terms, Italian words are
used to describe different tempos of
music. Adagio - a slow tempo (other words
for slow are lento and largo) Andante -
performed at a walking pace.

3 is what distinguishes a sound as powerful

intensity or weak. On a stereo, we can adjust the
volume to alter the volume of the music.
The sound's frequency is unaffected by
volume (it does not make it higher or
lower). It simply affects intensity, not
volume.
 4 pitch
Pitch as described in music is the specific position of a sound within a
set of notes. Sounds are considered either higher or lower in pitch
depending upon the frequency of vibration in the sound that is created
by a wave. Pitches are measured by using a tool called hertz. Hertz
measures one second of sound pitches and creates a calculated visual of
the sound wave. Pitches can be defined as the high frequency when the
sound wave is 880-hertz cycles in one second. A low-frequency pitch is
defined as 55 hertz.

An accent in music is a heightened emphasis, 5 accent

stress, or attack made on a certain note,
group of notes, or chord, either naturally
occurring from the context of the piece or
deliberately denoted by an accent mark.
Accents help in prosody and articulation
when a musical phrase is performed.

Meter, in music, rhythmic

6 meter pattern constituted by the
grouping of basic temporal
units, called beats, into
regular measures, or bars; in
Western notation, each measure
is set off from those
adjoining it by bar lines.
 7 phrase

Phrases are created in music through an interaction of melody,

harmony, and rhythm. Terms such as sentence and verse have
been adopted into the vocabulary of music from linguistic
syntax..

a bar (or measure) is a single unit of time

8 bar
containing a specific number of beats
played at a particular tempo. Bars are
designated by vertical bar lines that run
perpendicular to the staff, indicating the
beginning and end of the bar.

In music, counting is a system of

9 count regularly occurring sounds that
helps with musical performance or
audition by making it simple to
recognize the rhythm. The usual
method for doing this is to
verbally count the beats in each
measure as they come, whether they
be 2 beats, 3 beats, 4 beats, or
even 5 beats.
 In music, a note is the representation of a
10 note
musical sound. Notes can represent the
pitch and duration of a sound in musical
notation. A note can also represent a pitch
class.

11 measure
In music theory, a measure (or
bar) refers to a single unit of
time featuring a specific number of
beats played at a particular tempo.

Note pattern are notes which are 12 note pattern

not linear and therefore have some
distinctive pattern. There are
four main types considered here,
which are spidergram, table,
flowchart and tree diagram.

A step is the distance between notes

13 step pattern of different pitches. A half step, or
semitone, is the smallest interval
between notes in Western music. Notes
that are directly next to each other—
such as E and F, or A sharp and B—are a
half step apart.
 B. ELEMENTS OF MOVEMENT SPACE

1 DIRECTION is the line of movement taken

which maybe forward,
backward, sideward, diagonal,
upward, or a combination of
those mentioned.

2 level

is movement through space

that maybe done at a high,
low, or medium level.

3 range

is movement through space

that maybe done at a high,
low, or medium level.

4 floor pattern
the path or design that is made
while moving in space is what is
termed as floor pattern. It may
take a form of a circle, square,
straight line
