Background:
|
Music was around before
people were on the planet to appreciate it. With the
addition of humankind, music began to evolve. It left
the small band of nature and auditioned a whole new
orchestra of instruments created by people. As people spread
throughout the world, changing cultures fashioned new styles
of music. Even as we are growing up music changes and so
does our taste. There are now very many different types of
music each having its own appeal and subsequent audiences.
It is important that you recognize these various
tastes.
