Simply put, music is changes in sound over time that create an emotional response in a listener. That’s really all there is to it, but it’s obviously much more complex than that.

Some people have very strong view about what “real music” is, but they are usually quite naive and subjective. Music can be melodic, rhythmic, chordal, vocal or any combination thereof.

If its a series of changes in sound that can move you or anyone else on an emotional level, in our definition it IS music.

There are many ways music can be made. Traditionally it’s through the use of acoustic instruments played together to form some combination of rhythm, melody and/or harmony.

But nowadays it’s a much more “digital” process. Although live instruments are often still used, electronic and digital instruments are also the norm – from computer software to analog synthesizers and everything in between, music is made in a variety of ways using a variety of tools.

Oftentimes music is made with respect to certain “rules” related to some form of music theory. There are various types of musical theory throughout the world, but they all revolve around the concepts of rhythm, melody and harmony.

Those aren’t necessarily the only elements to great music, but are part of the foundation.
