dynamics, crescendo and decrescendo. The volumes are ppp ( p = piano, also known as soft and very quiet ), pp, and p ( amount of P's depend on how low and soft the music writer wants it; maximum is usually three ). And fff ( f = forte, means loud depending on how many forte marks. Then there'll be mp and mf, which means the loudest for the piano and the softest for the forte.

The overall term is 'Dynamic'. The dynamic of a piece is shown on the score by use of a number of terms and symbols. The three main letters are p, f and m. p represents the Italian word piano which translates literally as soft, f is forte literally loud and m is mezzo which is middle or medium. Combining these letters in different ways enables a composer to describe what the dynamic should be at any point within the music.
ff very loud
f loud
mf middle loud
mp middle soft
p soft
pp very soft
There are also many other effects available such as crescendo and diminuendo, a gradual rise and fall of dynamic over a designated amount of time and other effects such as accents which show that a particular note must be played more loudly than others surrounding it.
The loudness or softness of sound is referred to as amplitude. This is a measure of the distance between the peaks and the troughs of a sound wave. The greater the distance, the louder the sound and conversely, the sound is quieter when there is less distance between them.
The decibel is often used, but more properly a phon is the unit for how loud or soft the sound is.
