Music conventions are established practices and norms that guide the creation, performance, and interpretation of music. These conventions can include aspects such as song structure, instrumentation, and stylistic elements that are commonly accepted within specific genres, like rock, jazz, or classical. They help musicians communicate effectively and create a shared understanding of musical works. In addition to genre-specific conventions, there are also broader music conventions that apply across various styles. These can involve the use of notation, dynamics, and tempo markings, which provide essential information for performers. Understanding these conventions allows musicians to collaborate and innovate while maintaining a coherent musical language.
