The reason why we cannot understand music is not necessarily because we do not have musical abilities and musical accomplishment.

Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is timely organized and regular sound waves (a type of mechanical wave).

Its basic elements include strength, tonality, duration, timbre, etc. These basic elements are combined with each other to form the commonly used "formal elements" of music, such as rhythm, melody, harmony, intensity, speed, mode, musical form, texture, etc. The formal elements that constitute music are the means of expression of music.

Different types of music may emphasize or ignore certain elements. Music is performed with a variety of instruments and vocal techniques, and is divided into instrumental music, vocal music (such as songs without instrumental accompaniment), and compositions that combine singing and instruments.

Music is an art form that uses auditory images composed of organized sounds to express people's thoughts, feelings and social reality.
