Which of the following is not the best way to experience music? passively listen to music analyze your intellectual response to a song play in a pep band read up on a composer's life

Passively listen to music.

Explanation:

Although passively listening to music is not wrong, it is also not the best way to experience music. Passively listening to music can be fun, but it does not provide you with the insight and the learning that the other options lead to. If besides listening to music, you also analyze your intellectual response to it, play in a band or research a composer's life, you are likely to experience music more fully.

i'm not sure i completely understand your question, but i will do my best.

i think the answer you are looking for is sequence. (see below)

a repeated melodic fragment would be best defined as repetition, while repeated chords (different or the same) could be a chord progression. however, you then mentioned the chord and melodic fragment beginning on higher or lower pitches, in that case, the answer could be best defined as a sequence. the definition of a sequence is as follows: "the restatement of a motif or longer melodic (or harmonic) passage at a higher or lower pitch in the same voice."

let me know if this !
