Nearly all music uses Italian terms in its scores – even pop music usually uses the convention of Italian names. Even Percy Grainger couldn’t change it, and his use of English in his scores makes his music now look like something of an oddity. Its been that way for 300 years, and its unlikely to change. ![]() Italian is the Universal Language for Music – at least for musical terms that are written on scores. Helping students to learn what italian music terms like “Andante” and “Leggerio” mean Sorry to say that this set of music worksheets is NOT about learning what the difference between Hip Hop and House, Drum n’ Bass and Techno is.
