Foundations of Music Theory
Music Theory is a practice that musicians use to understand and communicate music's language. Musical theory is the study of the fundamentals of music. It also includes a method for interpreting musical compositions. Basic music theory, for example, defines the elements that comprise harmony, melody, and rhythm. It recognizes song form, tempo, notes, chords, key signatures, intervals, scales, and other compositional elements. It also recognizes musical characteristics like pitch, tone, timbre, texture, dynamics, and so on.
