Atonality

Hello there! So, have you ever heard music that didn't sound like it had a tune? That's called atonal music.

Normally, when we listen to music, we can hear a melody that follows a certain pattern and sounds cohesive. However, atonal music is different because it doesn't follow a particular pattern or melody. It might sound like a bunch of sounds put together without any particular order.

Imagine if you were playing with different colored blocks and you didn't put them in a specific pattern, you just piled them up on top of each other. That's kind of what atonal music sounds like.

This type of music started to become popular in the early 20th century as musicians wanted to try something new and break away from traditional music rules. It can be heard in some modern classical music, jazz, and even rock and roll.

So, in simple terms, atonal music doesn't follow a pattern like normal music does. It sounds like a bunch of sounds put together without any particular melody or order. It started because musicians wanted to break away from traditional music rules.
