What does MUSIC mean in Scrabble?
noun
The art of arranging sounds, especially through melody, harmony, and rhythm, to produce a composition that is pleasing, expressive, or emotionally affecting.
Music is organized through elements such as pitch, tempo, and dynamics, and it appears across every known culture, from work songs and lullabies to elaborate orchestral scores. People compose, perform, and listen to music for reasons ranging from religious ritual and storytelling to simple entertainment, and the same word also covers the written or recorded form a piece takes, such as sheet music. Because music engages both structured technique and personal expression, it is studied both as a rigorous discipline and as an art form.
