Oscillations occur in stars of most masses and essentially all stages of evolution. We discuss briefly the potential of asteroseismology, i.e., the study of the frequencies and other properties of stellar oscillations with the aim of extracting fundamental parameters such as density, mass, radius, age and rotation period. We also describe the Kepler Asteroseismic Investigation-the use of asteroseismology on the NASA Kepler mission to study stellar structure and evolution and provide information on the accuracy of the frequency measurements that can be obtained by the NASA Kepler mission. The Kepler mission will provide a comprehensive overview of stellar properties across a large part of the HR diagram, including information about the excitation and damping of the modes, and detailed information about the internal structure of a substantial number of stars.
