! Welcome To "MUSIC ADDICT ME "
People listen to certain music because it puts us in a certain mood. Movies use soundtracks to goad the audience into feeling a certain emotion during dramatic scenes. Since music is so good at toying with emotions,
the best way to describe music is to describe how the characters interpret or react to it. Is it sad, solemn, cheerful, upbeat, punchy, etc.?
In short, the tone of the music itself. I would say that in order to describe music you should listen to it a lot.
But not in a careless mood, rather in a very attentive and focused way.
Try to discern the different voices (as described above : bass, melody ...) and to feel touched by it.
If you think of a song/melody/piece you particularly enjoy, I'm sure you won't have any difficulties in writing your feelings and the description of the play. That being said, there are some terms you will most likely need to use that most people are familiar with (and you may already be, but just in case): Melody: the main tune in a musical piece.
Harmony: an accompanying line for the melody. There can be multiple harmonies (though one or two is typical), and the notes in the harmonies can be higher or lower than those in the melody. Bass: the low notes in a piece.
Think cellos, string bass, tubas, or those guys who sing ridiculously low. It refers to anything low in pitch, not just obnoxious drivers and their sub woofers that rattle your teeth. Tempo: the overall speed of the music. Tempos can change during the song.
