Consider this paragraph now. It consists of alphabets, which form words, and then words that form sentences.
Music has alphabets too; it’s called a scale.
Consider…
A-Z in the English Language
For music it is A, B , C , D , E , F & G.
Each letter is called a music note.
A sequence of music notes is called a Music Scale
Notes from the scale are put together to form Chords.
Chords are like words in the English language (now I think that rhymes!).
A sequence of well organized chords forms what we call a Chord Progression.
Chord progressions (musical sentences) are like sentences in the English language.
And finally for every complete Song (music) that passes a message to the audience, it is like a full paragraph or a complete essay.
Amazing, isn’t it?
What I want you to pick here is that music is not just in sounds (aural) but also written and understood as well.
Hence music is like a language but to me; it is a language.
Please read this over and over until you understand it well.
