Lesson Summary Melody refers to the combination of a particular rhythm with a series of pitches. The rhythm is the pattern of beats, or the long and short sounds, while pitch refers to the high and low sounds. Together they create the melody, which is the tune, or musical line of notes that our brains hear as one unit.

Music training not only helps children develop fine motor skills, but aids emotional and behavioral maturation as well, according to a new study, one of the largest to investigate the effects of playing an instrument on brain development.

Playing The Instrument A great teacher will have you playing your instrument by the very first lesson. You shouldn't expect to be playing anything too fancy, but you should be able to play something musical, even if it's just three notes.

3 Fun Ways To End A Music Lesson

1. Flash Cards- Any type of musical flash cards work but my favorites are note names and rhythm.
2. Ear training- This is the most enjoyable and most advanced “game”.
3. Knock Out Some Homework- Most of my students have 4 books worth of “homework”; 3 songs and 1 theory assignment.

A melody in music is a group of notes of various pitches (how high or low a note sounds) which are played one after another. Together they make a tune in the same way that a group of words make a sentence. Some people like to sing melodies. Melodies have rhythm (the length of the notes).

Themes are often understood to subsume smaller musical objects (melodies, motives, pitches, etc.) and to be, in turn, subsumed by larger ones (phrases, periods, sections, movements, etc.). The role of the theme is somewhat analogous to the role of the clause in prose.

Expanding and Enhancing Your Musical Knowledge Made Easy

1. Explore other genres. You might be the type of person who sticks to one genre.
2. See live performances.
3. Explore how music is produced.
4. Learn to play an instrument.
5. Listen more, feel more.

Theory and practice go hand in hand so that music is both felt and understood. Pupils are supported and challenged as listeners, composers and performers, and demonstrate high levels of enjoyment and engagement. The teacher also demonstrates a high level of enjoyment!

“Music and the Brain” explores how music impacts brain function and human behavior, including by reducing stress, pain and symptoms of depression as well as improving cognitive and motor skills, spatial-temporal learning and neurogenesis, which is the brain's ability to produce neurons.
