Tune is a term used in music to refer to a series of musical notes that are perceived as a single entity. It is often used interchangeably with the terms melody and song. However, a tune is typically a simpler, more straightforward sequence of notes, while a melody is more complex and a song includes lyrics.

Definition

A tune is a series of musical notes that are arranged in a particular order. This sequence of notes is perceived as a single entity by the listener. The term is often used to refer to the main theme of a piece of music, especially in popular music.

Characteristics

Tunes are characterized by their simplicity and straightforwardness. They are typically made up of a series of notes that are easy to remember and sing along to. This is in contrast to a melody, which is more complex and can include a variety of different notes and rhythms.

Usage

The term tune is often used interchangeably with the terms melody and song. However, there are subtle differences between these terms. A tune is typically a simpler, more straightforward sequence of notes, while a melody is more complex and can include a variety of different notes and rhythms. A song, on the other hand, includes lyrics in addition to the musical notes.
