### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Bible music is made with harps, lyres, pipes, drums and singing, and is used in worship, in joy and in prophecy. Interpretation: Levites made music in the Temple. Tradition reads music as a way to praise God, and the Psalms were sung with instruments. In the primary lessons: In science, music is sound made by vibrations; faster vibrations give higher notes. In school, music lessons teach rhythm, beat, melody, notes on the staff. In everyday life, music is for fun, dancing, feelings and celebrations; very loud music can hurt your ears, so keep headphones at a safe volume. Phrases: «listen to music», «play music», «face the music» (accept punishment), «music to my ears» (good news).
