Music to me is rhythm and sound made to express anything. Music means using instruments or singing and is a way to connect with not just yourself but others as well. There are many genres of music that people can enjoy from. Music can give us a bunch of emotion whether its impowernment, inspiration, joy, or even sadness. To me anything can be music if you can put a beat or rhythm into it such as tapping on table. Music has many purposes in this world and its really a gift. Music is made to touch people and give us a vibe that is universal to all of us. - Jedidah P.

I think music is a type of art that lets people make lyrics beats or play instruments, to keep people entertained. I think music is a entertainment. What music means in my opinion is that someone sing or rap or play a instrument. What makes music is the rhythm or maybe the flow, how it goes and how it sounds to the ear. Music is to keep people going, when I listen to music and I hear my favorite song, I sing with them and I feel good about it.

Music is a cohesive arrangement of notes that follow a certain time signature. Music means to have a certain melody, rhythm, and sometimes harmony to express emotion. The defining elements of music would be as I just mentioned- rhythm, beat, and melody as different notes and sounds may convey different emotions. Different compositions may fit certain genre types, which allows it to be more than just "a random sound." In my opinion, music serves to bring people together. It is a universal language, meaning that people of various backgrounds may appreciate it. While it may definitely be used to entertain people, it can also have deeper meanings and associations, such as in romance and achievements!

Music is the combination of sounds and rhythm in order to make a unified composition. Music means a way for others to express themselves and their feelings, using a combination of variation and repetition of sound waves. Music is another form of communication and speaks the feeling that we can't put into words. It is a universal language, and unites people of different cultures and backgrounds. Music is anything that is regarded as music, meaning that anything can be music. Whether it's the sound of the air flowing through the trees, the distant cars passing by, the waves crashing onto a beach,etc... Music is beautiful and entertainment is just one of its many purposes. Music can be very therapeutic for many as it was for me,it can make us go from sad to happy and vise versa, can make people more focused,bring out emotions deep within us, inspire us, and much more.

Music is a special composition of sounds from instruments, vocal sounds, computer generation, and samples of other things such as real life city sounds, television show snippets, or anything the artist desires to add.
Music, by definition, is vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. I believe that music means a series of notes that has harmony, or is "catchy". Any series of sounds that produces a harmony, has a pleasing tune, or sequence that you like, can be considered music.
To me, the defining elements of music are harmony, notes, chords, and rhythm. In my opinion, what sets music apart from just a conglomerate of noises, is rhythm, harmony, and how all the sounds compliment one another. These notes, vocal noises, pitches, and lyrics can all induce emotions in the listener, whether they be happy, sad, angry, longing, content, or any that the artist wants to convey. In truth, it is up to the listener how they perceive the song.
I believe the purpose of music is for one to express themself. To create something you like to hear, that you want to share with the world. To listen to something pleasing, that inspires you or makes you feel strong emotions. Music is not only entertainment, but a language understood by the whole world. Almost everyone loves music, even if they do not understand the language a song is being sung in. Music brings harmony and is very significant in my life.

Music is a combination of synchronized sound or sounds that form a melody, rhythm or usually a harmony. But to me, personally, music means an escape. It is peace to ones soul. What makes music, music (instead of just a random sound) is that it's different. Music could mean 20 different things to 20 different people. The purpose music serves the world is creating a sort of happy place for people. It is expression, emotion in sound form and it helps people through their toughest moments and brings light into them or makes them feel that emotion more.

Music, to me, is a form to express a feeling, a story, or anything else using a group of sounds. There is no right or wrong interpretation of these sounds. The listener understands those sounds according to his own life experiences and gives the meaning that makes sense to him at that moment. What makes music differ from a random sound is its  Harmony and rhythm.

I think music is just a sound to calm the mind when it is in stress or when your mind is not right or it could be a sound to make you happy or sad either way everybody has their own sound that they like so music is a lot of things to person.
What I think music means is whatever the songwriter or whoever is making music is making it mean but it could mean a whole lot of other things like someone's life story or how they are feeling about a certain someone or even about their personal experience with someone.
The thing that it music instead of just some random sound is when you are feeling the rhythm to the beat or melody and it makes you want to dance or sing thats what makes a random sound music.
The purpose that music serves in this world is a sense of presence is their right beside you if your feeling your lowest and if you feel like you don't belong where you are now, but what i'm trying to say is it gives you happiness, entertainment, hope and the sense that you belong here and you mean something.

What is Music to me? Music to me is the sound a instrument makes. Music is a combination of instrument sounds and singing in one song that people love to listen too. What makes something music is the cool person singing in the music or the good instrumental in the background. Music purpose in the world is both to entertain us and for us to have fun listening to it. I personally like to use music to calm myself down or to hype myself up for something.

I personally think that music is certain sounds put together to make a harmony that are supposed to make people feel a certain way.

I think music means certain sounds and harmonies clashing to cause all types of effects on the mind. For example, certain types of music can be asserted with memories and now whenever you hear that song it reminds you of that memory.

The defining elements of music to me is making sure that someone can resonate with a song. Like making sure that the beat and the notes of the song hit them on an emotional level.

The purpose that music serves in the world is giving people an escape from life. When you had a long day all you want to do is go home put on your earphones and listen to your favorite song. Or maybe when you first wake up instead of thinking of the day start off by listening to a good song. People mainly use music to instead of focusing on real life to take their mind off of things and giving them an escape.

Music is a pattern of notes and chords, usually arranged in a manner pleasing to listen to. What music means is subjective to both composer and listener, but some common feelings that come from music are love, grief, motivation etc. The defining elements of music are rhythm, tempo, chord, and key. Music generally serves to stur an emotion within us, such as a sweeping piece for a landscape shot, or a triumphant ballad for an awards ceremony.

Music is a combination of sounds that can express a story or a feeling to the listener. Music can mean many things like what emotions or thoughts the creator wants to express to the listener. I think anything can be considered music as long as it makes the creator and their listeners feel good. For example, you could make a song made of just chopped up drum sounds and people would like it. Music doesn't have to have a specific purpose, it can be made to entertain, to make people feel good, to celebrate, to tell a story, or even made just to be made because it's fun to make music.
