Music glossary

It is important to note that before children can do really complicated things, such as following a rhythmic pattern or attempting a loop of sound on a computer, they have to be confident with basic musical skills and terminology. It is essential that children understand the meanings of the words in this glossary and use them when describing the pieces of music that they hear, and also when creating music themselves. One way to ensure the children have grasped the terms is to ask them to design a poster that shows one or more of the words and explains its meaning. You can display these posters during your subsequent music lessons as useful visual reminders.
