Music is an artistic form that expresses people's thoughts and feelings and social real life with auditory images composed of organized voices. It is also one of the most touching art forms. When the melody rings, people tend to be irresistibly immersed in the musical atmosphere immediately. Any art form has its own way of expressing ideas and shaping artistic images.
For example, dancing is through body movements and facial expressions, painting is through lines, colors and composition, and literature is through words, phrases, sentences and articles to reflect artistic images. Usually, people distinguish different kinds of art through different expressions, such as different musical instruments. Music can also express the intention of musicians and music creators.
