MUSIC (algorithm)

Music is like a special kind of art that uses sounds to make us feel happy, sad, excited, or any other feeling. To make music, people use instruments like guitars, drums, pianos, and many more. They also use their voice to sing.

Sometimes, people use technology to make music too. They use a special kind of code called an algorithm to create the sounds we hear in music. An algorithm is like a recipe that tells a computer or a machine what to do step by step.

So, when a musician uses an algorithm, they are telling the computer how to create the music they want. They can tell the computer which notes to play, how loud or soft they should be, and when to stop or start playing.

Once the computer has all of these instructions, it can create the music just like a human musician would with their instrument. So, even though it might not be a person playing the music, it can still sound beautiful and make us feel all kinds of emotions.
