Music through ages
This document summarizes the history of music across different ages from ancient times to modern day. It outlines the evolution of early instruments from simple flutes made of bone to more advanced string and drum instruments. Medieval music was dominated by church music featuring instruments like pan flutes and lutes. The Renaissance saw the development of classical music genres. Major innovations in the 20th century included the invention of the phonograph, microphone, vinyl records and tape cassettes which drove the growth of the recording industry. Modern digital technologies now allow for computer-based music production using software and synthesizers.
