WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A SOUNDTRACKInstrumentation: The use of instruments & vocals in a piece, the instruments used.
Tempo: The speed at which a piece of music is played, musical terms such as 'allegro' can be used.
Dynamics: The volume of which a piece of music is played. Musical terms such as 'piano' meaning quiet, and 'forte' meaning loud are often used.
Rhythm: A pattern of sound often used to accompany a main melody as a beat.
Melody: The main body of a piece of music, the leading instrument's piece.
Texture: The quality of a sound, how 'clear' a piece can sound, how music is put together, layers. One instrument playing is 'monophonic', lots of instruments together would be 'polyphonic'.
Harmony/Key: The combination of sounds put together to sound well structured, often used in duets.
Structure: The music organised in layers, the intro, verses and choruses, and finally the outro. Solos are often in pieces of music too.
Technology/SFX: Real or artificial sounds that are added to a piece of music or sound in order to create atmosphere/mood or to support the event occurring.
