Here's why:
* Meter is a recurring pattern of strong and weak beats in music. It creates a sense of rhythm and predictability, making the music more engaging and easier to follow.
* Accents are the strong beats in a measure, often marked by a louder volume or a longer duration.
* Beats are the regular pulses of music, like the steady "click" of a metronome.
Together, accents and beats create the rhythmic framework of a piece of music, which is defined by its meter.
