MUSIC Music can be defined in many ways, but to summarize all the definitions, music can be defined as the art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds or both to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. It is said that a large percentage of old people who sing at the choir enjoy the harmony created and feel at peace. It is not really known from where music originated, but most probably the earliest humans to feel emotion probably found a way to express it using "organized sound". The first form of music may have come from hunting whistles - examples of these go back over 40,000 years.

Thus, they fit into a social scheme where dance and music have
