Duration

Rhythm is the length of sounds and silences. Patterns of long and short sounds and silences. Beat the underlying regular pulse. Grouping of beats is called a time signature. Accent is a strong beat. Tempo is the speed of beat. Music can be fast or slow.

 

Dynamic

Pitch

Sounds move up, down or stay the same.
Melody is a sequence of patterns. Harmony is two or more pitches of sound together. Definite pitch is heard in tuned instruments (xylophone, piano). Indefinite pitch is heard in untuned instruments (triangle, tambourine).

Tone Colour

Texture

The number of instruments playing at one time.Polyphonic texture is many instruments playing at once. Monophonic texture is a single melody with no accompaniment. Homophonic texture is melody and accompaniment working together.

    Just pointing out that on the 'Texture' poster the text should read 'the number' not 'the amount' of instruments. Instruments are countable so we say 'the number of instruments' as opposed to flour or sugar, where we say 'the amount of flour', 'the amount of sugar'. Eggs, like instruments, are countable, so correct is 'the number of eggs'. Kind regards,
