\u201cMr. Hernandez\u201d definitions of these musical terms (simplified):Tempo \u2013 essentially, how fast or slow \u2013 so ask yourself, is this is a slow tempo, fast tempo, or somewhere in between, we call that moderato or mediumMeter \u2013 how many big beats do you feel, three beats like a waltz (oom, pah, pah) or perhaps as two-beats or four-beatsMelody \u2013 is the melody sound fairly scalar (conjunct), as moving step-wise, or does melody have lots of huge skips (leaps) in that the singer or instrumentalist is low then high then low againMode \u2013 this one difficult but you figure out if a minor or major scale is being utilized \u2013 don\u2019t sweat this one if you can\u2019t it out, really don\u2019t worry about itMedium \u2013 simply state\/describe what all you hear: Voices singing (and if so, how many \u2013 duet, trio, etc)? Drums? Piano? Guitars? Bass? Horns? Orchestra? Texture \u2013 you may wish to study this term more in the book, most textures nowadays are homophonic, that means melody with accompaniment; check the book for more on the other forms (e.g., monophonic, polyphonic, etc)Dynamics \u2013 how loud or soft; this does not mean your stereo or necessarily decibel level, rather this means what is the intensity level \u2013 is it intense, forceful, or is the song or piece soft, calm, serene? If it is strong & intense, that could be forte \u2013 if it is calm, peaceful that is more piano \u2013 obviously, dynamics refers to loud or soft, but moreover it refers to intensity; something passionate and powerful doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be loud pounding your eardrums Form \u2013 form pretty much means sections of different or unique melodies; so like the verse is a section and the chorus is also a section; most songs are AB or strophic because they contain verse-chorus-verse-chorus and so; some songs have a third section that serves as a contrasting section so those might go something like this: ABABCA or even ABCAB and the like <\/p>\n
