Trang 12WHAT IS MUSIC?
Music can be happy, sad, romantic, sleepy, spine-tingling, healing—all kinds of things But what is it? Some people define it as an artful arrangement
of sounds across time Our ears interpret these sounds as loud or soft, high or low, rapid and short, or slow and smooth The sounds need to continue for a time in some sort of pattern to become music
Music, like language, is a uniquely human form of communication As with language, there are many different kinds In North America, people listen
to jazz, rock, classical, folk, country, and many other kinds of music Each kind
of music has its own rules and “speaks” to us in its own way

Today, modern communications make it possible for us to listen to music from all over the world Music from one part of the world influences music from another part For example, gamelan music from Indonesia
