Definations of music elements

• Duration-refers to the duration of a sound in seconds. Some sounds are extended and continuous, while others are short and fleeting. Concepts like as beat, accent, note values, meter, rhythm, and tempo entail duration.
• Pitch of tone- Pitch means high or low. A MELODY is made up of high and low tones which are arranged in a linear succession. When children sing songs, it is immensely helpful if you can show the contour (the direction of the pitch) with your hands.
• Intensity of tone- refers to the tone's dynamics, or how loud or soft it is.
• Quality of tone- Every instrument has a distinct sound that is unique to that instrument. The tone quality is the term for this. If you close your eyes and hear someone playing the piano, you will instantly recognize it as a piano due to its distinct tone quality.
• Texture- refers to the thickness or thinness of sound.
