Music is something that we all enjoy in our lives. It is the sound that is brought together through a harmony of instruments and voices. Do you remember? Our mothers, fathers and grandparents sing lullabies so that we can sleep peacefully.
Every morning, we hear the singing birds and the leaves of the trees rustling. Music is everywhere in the environment, all we have to do is to listen to it.
Those who know how to create music using instruments and their own bodies are called musicians. There are different instruments such as percussion, string, brass, woodwind and piano. When people who play different instruments come together to play them together, it is called a band.
There are different genres of music too, such as rock, pop, classical, jazz, heavy metal, country and hip hop. All these genres of music are characterised by how the instruments work together.
In today’s world, we see many combinations of genres such as pop, rock and classical. Music has the power to unite people, make us relaxed. Music is not just sound, it is a good way to develop our qualities too.
