MUSIC-
Music has been around for centuries. From cave men noises to our most recent genres like techno. Music is something that was made to dance to. It starts with a beat, then a rythm, next thing you know it's music.

The definition of music is-an artistic form of auditory communication or vocal tunes in a constructed matter. In easy english this means a form of noise in tune that keeps constant. Music is known to be pleasing to the ear, but isn't always. Everyone has there likes and dislikes and it depends on how your ears and "brain" interpret it.

Where did it start?
There isn't an event when music first occured. It just happened. The first instrument was the human voice, the first rythm was the clapping of hands. The cavemen started it all. There was no real instrument untill about 60,000 years ago, an artifact flute made from bone was found.

Technology
How has technology affected the way we hear music today? When you hear music...where is it coming from? Either a radio, television, headphones,or a big sterio system. None of these things were around untill the 1900's. Hearing music from these dvises is regualr to us now and we don't realize it. We don;t notice that there used to be no IPods and definately no ITouch's. Improvement through music still goes on.
