Musical Elements

Enjoyable Quiz for Children Aged 7 to 11

This KS2 Music quiz will challenge you on musical elements. Musical elements are words that describe music. It can be very difficult to describe something which you cannot see, but are only able to hear. Luckily, knowing the elements of music gives us a language to describe the music we hear.

If a musician was given a piece of music with just the notes and no instruction on how to play the piece, such as how fast, how loud and so on, the music would sound very strange! Just like maths has its own language, so too does music. If you are wanting to play, or already do play, a musical instrument, it's worth spending some time getting to know what these new musical words mean.

Take this quiz to discover how well you know the musical elements.
