Rhythm can be measured in beats per minute (BPM), a unit used to describe the tempo of a song.

In jazz music, improvisation often relies on understanding and adapting to the underlying rhythm of a song.

In African drumming, rhythms are complex and intertwined, creating a unique sound and cultural identity.

In poetry, rhythm is used to create meter and emphasize certain words, shaping the overall tone and meaning.

In nature, rhythms can be observed in the ebb and flow of tides, the migration of animals, and the beating of a heart.

In art, rhythm can be found in the repetition of patterns, shapes, and movements, guiding the viewer's eye and creating a sense of flow.

The term was popularized in the 1980s as a marketing category for non-Western traditional music.

Synthesizers use electronic components to create sounds.

Subtractive, additive, and frequency modulation synthesis are common methods.

Filters, envelopes, and low-frequency oscillators shape the sound.

Synthesizers can be played with keyboards or controlled by sequencers.

They can also be synchronized with other equipment via MIDI.

The Yamaha DX7, launched in 1983, was a major success and the first popular digital synthesizer.

In 2017, hip-hop became the bestselling genre of popular music in the United States and had also developed its own regional variations around the world.

This disco-inflected music was originally known as disco rap and later described as "old-school hip-hop".

Cultural interchange has always been central to the hip-hop genre: It simultaneously borrows from its social environment while commenting on it.

The hip-hop genre and culture emerged from block parties in the Bronx.

These breakbeats enabled the subsequent evolution of the hip-hop style.

In the mid-1980s, hip-hop began to diversify as electro music started to inform the genre's new school.

The process of interpreting musical notation is often referred to as reading music.

Distinct methods of notation have been invented throughout history by various cultures.

Much information about ancient music notation is fragmentary.

Even in the same time frames, different styles of music and different cultures use different music notation methods.

Notation developed further during the Renaissance and Baroque music eras.

A tablet from about 1250 BCE shows a more developed form of notation.

Although musical theatre is closely related to opera, the two are considered to be distinct from one another.

Opera is a key part of Western classical music, and Italian tradition in particular.

In traditional number opera, singers employ two styles of singing: recitative, a speech-inflected style, and self-contained arias.

In the 18th century, Italian opera continued to dominate most of Europe (except France), attracting foreign composers such as George Frideric Handel.

The mid-to-late 19th century was a golden age of opera, led and dominated by Giuseppe Verdi in Italy and Richard Wagner in Germany.

During the 19th century, parallel operatic traditions emerged in central and eastern Europe, particularly in Russia and Bohemia.
