Music is built on rhythm (patterns of beats), melody (a tune) and harmony. Time signatures such as 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4 tell how many beats are in a bar. Verse is poetry: lines, stanzas, rhyme and rhythm. Poetry devices include simile, metaphor, alliteration and personification. Performance needs voice control and expression.
