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

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
