3. Harmony – This is a vertical combination of notes that forms chords. The notes are places simultaneously and vertically to keep the harmony on point.

4. Rhythm – Music is always time bound. Rhythm is a way to make sure that it is on meter and organized properly in time.

5. Texture – The density of notes play an important role. There thickness or thinness, describes, how well they perform together in one piece. There are 3 main type of textures

  • Monophony – Its all about Solo voice. This is the basic single layer sound.
  • Homophony – This is all about having a company, one voice and a band or singer with an instrument like guitar
  • Polyphony – When there are two or more voices like core singer and chorus.

6. Structure – Structing is very important. It decides the movement of the piece and sections its divided into like verse and refrain.
