The Japanese music is usually slow, sad, and uses the low notes. The musical instruments used are keyboard, piano, guitar or any traditional Japanese instruments. They seldom use high notes when playing their music. The tonality of Chinese music is pentatonic which means a scale of five notes or tones. The texture of Chinese music is often monophonic, where only one instrument is playing, or heterophonic (more than one instrument are playing). Timbre is very basic in Chinese music. Traditional Korean Music uses bright rhythms and melodies and offers a more energetic and often changing difference to the nation's collection of classical music works.
