Hi Music Geeks! Here is a very brief introduction to the 8 basic elements of music: rhythm, melody, harmony, dynamics, song form, timbre, texture, and tonality. You do NOT need to know music theory to gain a basic understanding of these elements.
There will be a series to follow this video where I explain each of these concepts in more detail. But for now, this video will give you a fundamental understanding of why each of these things is important! Thank you for your support!!
