  1. The pitch shows how the music will sound using a variation of high notes (Treble) and low notes (Bass), showing the overall feel of what type of genre your music sounds.
  2. The melody is the key to how music can turn into a song by using different patterns of notes, using pitch to also tell the genre.
  3. Harmony lets the music to move more freely without being too "perfect" because music isn't always perfect, and harmony can help express that feeling.
  4. Rhythm shows how fast or slow our song is playing, which is the term "Beats Per Minute" (BPM).
  5. Timbre can show different melodies, harmony, etc. but it having to do with using more instruments, allowing more feeling to appear then using one simple instrument.
  6. The structure can build suspense to a song like pauses, short solos, and more, helping the song build character.
  7. Silence appears in the melodies, showing that, "You don't have to put notes every 1/2 beat," because this can lead to lack of interest. Silence helps with building suspense as well as the structure.
