常见错误：
Learners often confuse 'melody' with 'rhythm' or 'lyrics'. 'Melody' is the line of notes (the tune you can hum), 'rhythm' is the pattern of long and short sounds or beats, and 'lyrics' are the words of a song. Another mistake is using 'a music' instead of 'a melody' or 'a piece of music'.

Learners sometimes think 'melody' means all the music they hear, but in music theory it can mean only the main line, not the harmony or accompaniment. Another confusion is between 'melody' and 'harmony': the melody is one line of notes; harmony is other notes that sound at the same time to support it.
