Music is made up of sounds that can be high or low, loud or soft, fast or slow. These sounds come together in different ways to create songs. For example, a piano has many keys, and each key makes a different sound when you press it. When you press the keys in a certain order and rhythm, you can play a beautiful song! Music can make us feel happy, sad, or excited depending on how it is played.
