9. History
The first music was probably made trying to
imitate sounds and rhythms that occurred
naturally. Some animals also can use music.
The first musical instrument used by humans
was probably the voice. The human voice can
make many different kinds of sounds.

12. Ancient Times
The only way we can guess about early music is by looking at very old paintings that show people
playing musical instruments, or by finding them in archaeological digs (digging undergroundto
find old things).

13. Middle Ages Much of the music in the Middle Ages (roughly 450-1420) was folk
music played by working people who wanted to sing or dance.

14. Reinaissance
In the Renaissance (roughly 1400-1550) there was a lot of music, and many
composers wrote music that has survived so that it can be performed, played or
sung today.

15. Baroque
In the arts, the Baroque was a Western cultural era,
which began near the turn of the 17th century in Rome.
It was exemplified by drama and grandeur in sculpture,
painting, literature, dance, and music.

16. Classical Period
In western music, the classical period
means music from about 1750 to 1825.
It was the time of composers like Joseph
Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and
Ludwig van Beethoven.

17. Romantic Period
The 19th century is called the Romantic period.
Composers were particularly interested in
conveying their emotions through music. An
important instrument from the Romantic
period was the piano.

19. Modern Times
From about 1900 onwards is called the "modern
period". Many 20th century composers wanted to
compose music that sounded different from the
Classical and Romantic music.

20. Electronic Music
Music can be produced electronically. This is
most commonly done by computers, keyboards,
electric guitars and disk tables. They can mimic
traditional instruments, and also produce very
different sounds.

21. Jazz
Jazz is a type of music that was invented
around 1900 in New Orleans in the south of
the USA. There were many black musicians
living there who played a style of music called
blues music.

22. Pop Music
"Pop" music is a type of popular music that
many people like to listen to. The term "pop
music" can be used for all kinds of music that
was written to be popular.

23. Musical Notation
"Musical notation" is the way music is written
down. Music needs to be written down in order
to be saved and remembered for future
performances.

24. Solfege
Solfège (also called solfa) is the way tones are named. It
was made in order to give a name to the several tones
and pitches. For example, the eight basic notes "Do, Re,
Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do" are just the names of the eight
notes that confirm the major scale.

25. Written Music
Music can be written in several ways. When it is
written on a staff (like in the example shown), the
pitches (tones) and their duration are represented
by symbols called notes.
Music can also be written with letters, naming them
as in the solfa "Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do" or
representing them by letters.

26. By ComposingBy Listening By Playing
How To Enjoy Music

27. By Listening
People can enjoy music by listening to it. They can go
to concerts to hear musicians perform. Classical music
is usually performed in concert halls, but sometimes
huge festivals are organized in which it is performed
outside, in a field or stadium, like pop festivals.

28. By Playing
Probably the most common for complete
beginners is the piano or keyboard, the
guitar, or the recorder (which is certainly
the cheapest to buy).

29. Anyone can make up his or her own pieces
of music. It is not difficult to compose
simple songs or melodies (tunes).
It's easier for people who can play an
instrument themselves. All it takes is
experimenting with the sounds that an
instrument makes.
