If it does, how? Music is “a combination of organized and meaningful sounds, occurring over a prescribed time frame and usually having a pitch” (Hoffer, 1985, p.22). This means that some sounds cannot be classified as music if they are not arranged correctly, which denotes meaninglessness. Furthermore, there are elements to observe before considering it as such: pitch, melody, harmony, rhythm, intensity, timbre or tone quality, and shape. According to Hoffer (1985), the three dimensions of music are pitch, melody and harmony. Pitch is described as the degree of loudness or quietness of a sound. People can easily observe the pitch while listening to music. However, when notes are played one after another in a logical series, it is called a melody. On the other hand, harmony is the simultaneous sound of multiple pitches. Musicians or singers combine sounds to enhance the melody and make it more interesting. In addition to the three dimensions of music, namely pitch, melody and harmony, importance is also given to tempo or timing. One of its elements is rhythm. It simply means the flow of the music in terms of time.
