      Introduction

      Music is understood to be the art of organizing a set of sounds and silences in a logical and sensible way, according to the principles of harmony, melody and rhythm. These principles have changed over time, which has allowed various artistic manifestations and explorations, which have in common the desire to move or produce an aesthetic effect on the listener.

      Music has accompanied man since time immemorial, both in his religious and social rites and serves as a vehicle for various cultural messages, from national anthems to ecclesiastical liturgies.

      The term music comes from the Greek mousikë, which means the art of the muses, since in this ancient culture it was supposed to be the fruit of divine inspiration. In this culture, the muse in charge of inspiring musicians was Euterpe.

      Definition of Music

      THE TRADITIONAL WAY of understanding music is the technique of using sounds and silences for aesthetic purposes.

      This means that it is one of the nine (or seven, depending on the version) Fine Arts, and it is produced from the execution of various instruments, either in an ordered ensemble or in a solitary manner.

      The musical principles or foundations are:

      Melody.

      THE SUCCESSIVE OR SEQUENTIAL order of sounds and silences is called melody, the combination of which gives them their own and recognizable identity. It is equivalent to the syntax of language, that is, to the art of constructing a well-done phrase, and to a horizontal conception of music.

      Harmony.

      HARMONY IS THE ABILITY to match two or more sounds together, or to integrate them nicely with those that will sound next. It represents a vertical look at music.

      Metrics.

      IT REFERS TO THE REPETITION of equal or similar intervals of sounds and silences throughout a melody.

      Rhythm.

      IT IS THE ABILITY TO generate musical contrasts, using the above elements and the various sound textures, tones, timbres and variations that the author introduces.

      Musical notes.

      MUSIC CAN BE WRITTEN or simply thought of in minimal units of sound sense called notes. The traditional scale (the musical alphabet) is made up of seven notes ordered from lowest to highest: do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si.

      These can be used alone or in conjunction with the others, to compose the various sounds required in a performance.

      Types of music

      THERE ARE MANY WAYS to classify music, according to its matrix of rhythms, its instruments used, its origin and provenance, or the level of artistic complexity that they pursue. In principle we can talk about:

      Classical or academic music. That music is the result of the great western musical traditions (mostly European) and their derivations, instrumental or not, intended for listening rather than dancing.

      Popular music.

      A BROAD GENRE THAT represents a certain feeling of the popular masses and includes all musical styles not traditionally appreciated by academia and scholarly critics.

      Instrumental music. That which is performed without
