Glossary Of Music Terms

Whether you're a beginner taking your first lesson or a parent curious about your child's musical journey, this glossary is here to help you feel more confident and informed. Music comes with its own unique language — from terms you'll hear during lessons to concepts found in sheet music, practice notes, and recital programs.

This page provides clear, simple definitions of common music terms, organized for easy browsing. You can use it to quickly look up unfamiliar words, refresh your memory, or support your learning between lessons.

Our goal is to make music education more accessible and enjoyable for everyone — no jargon, just helpful explanations. And if there’s a word you think we should add, feel free to let us know!
