Tonality -pattern of pitches used to write a song Major -all white keys on piano are major keys Minor -all black keys on piano are minor keys (sharps/flats)

Rhythm Rhythm is the way music paces itself and moves through time. Music can flow gently or forcefully, smoothly or roughly. It can be rapid or slow, deliberate or tentative. Clap!
