However, after you become familiar with words and language used to hear every word becomes clear and easy to identify.
Music is a language, a language easy to learn. It 's basically three words: one, two, three, four.
One or the first time is thebeat loud in all measures of music.
Two or later, is a light-sounding fantastic result of strong first half.
Three or third time, beat a strong but not as strong as the first step.
Four or fourth time, is the lightest fly as far or bar of music.
Waltz music is the exception to the rule, only three bars of music. The first time is emphasized, and is followed by two strokes of light. The pace is - heavy, light, light - heavylight, light.
