Music is...?

Music is a collection of noise that seems to be difficult to define. Perhaps it is so difficult to define because there are so many different types of “music.” People label and don’t label all different types of noises as music, which makes it difficult to define what it really is. Some people consider nature noises to be music while other people don’t consider it to be music but rather bird noises recorded on a CD. So it is diffucult to define what music really is because there are so many different forms. According to www.dictionary.com music is defined as, an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color. Therefore, it seems as though all noise could be defined as music. Because there are so many different forms music cannot be defined into one solid definition.
