What is a "tie"?

A tie is a narrow length of cloth that is worn around the neck and tied in a knot at the front. Ties are typically made of silk, polyester, or other materials, and come in a variety of colors, patterns, and styles. They are commonly worn as a part of formal attire or as a fashion accessory and are often seen in professional settings such as business meetings or interviews.

What is a "tie"?

A tie is a musical symbol that connects two notes of the same pitch, indicating that they should be played as a single, continuous note. It is represented by a curved line placed above or below the notes that are to be joined. The tie combines the durations of the connected notes, so if a note is tied from one measure to the next, the performer holds the note for the total combined length without rearticulating it. This helps create a smooth, uninterrupted sound and allows for longer note values across measure boundaries.
