Most basic thing about music to know is that any music, no matter what genre they belong will have three components the High – corresponds to high frequency sound (ex. Treble), the Middle – corresponds to middle frequency sound (ex. Trumpet) and the Low – corresponds to lower frequency sound (ex. Bass). There are other components like Reverb which can be felt but can’t be heard.
