Fascinating Fact:

Harmony in songs is often created by chords, played on instruments like guitar, piano, or keyboards.

Key Terms

  • Chord: Two or more notes played together to create harmony.
  • Verse: A repeated section where the lyrics usually change to tell more of the story.
  • Chorus: The main repeated section with the hook, often the most memorable part of the song.
