Music is an art form and cultural activity based around sound. It makes use of such common elements as pitch, rhythm, dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture; some of these elements may be de-emphasized or altogether omitted in certain styles. Music is performed using a vast range of instruments and vocal techniques; pieces may be solely vocal, solely instrumental, or both vocal and instrumental. There are many different types of music (including popular, traditional, art, and religious), and music can also come in many different styles (ranging from strictly organized compositions, to spontaneously played improvisational music, to avant-garde and chance-based contemporary compositions). Within the arts, music is classified as either a performing art, a fine art, or an auditory art. Music plays an important part in the lives of many people; plays a key role in rituals, rite-of-passage ceremonies, and social and cultural activities; and can be either played as a hobby or recorded professionally.
