Composers are people who create music.
Sometimes the music they compose is too long for people’s minds to remember so composers write down their music.
Music written down is called Notation.
Musicians enjoy to make and play music together as a group.
Sometimes but not always, they use notation to know what sounds to play.
Groups often use another musician called a Conductor to help them.
Because music rhythm is made up of ‘beats’ the Conductor
- Sets ‘the beat’
- Keeps the beat
- Follows Composer’s Instructions
Composer Instructions tell players when music should be:
The conductor sets the pulse beat and the meter pattern by using an accent beat.
