What is music?

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm

and gaiety to life and to everything.Plato

But we also agree upon the quotation by Plato, that …

We have found in encyclopedias and compared a lot of definitions about what music is and agreed upon the following definition.

What is the difference between musical sound and noise?

Noise results when irregular vibrations are made at irregular times. Musical sound results when regular vibrations of the voice or a musical

instrument are produced.

nature.

To illustrate the distribution of music we have made the following scheme

• Music can be divided into different genres in several ways. The artistic nature of music means that these classifications are often arbitrary and controversial, and some genres may overlap.

• Among the criteria often used to classify musical genres are: the trichotomy of art, popular and traditional; time period; regional and national origins; technique and instrumentation; fusional origins; and social function.

Music is a universal language

Music is the most beautiful language invented by human race. Its intention is to make people communicate and bring them together around this miraculous phenomenon. Music makes us

travel, dance, cry, play and run, in a word it makes us feel alive.

No matter the difference and cultural codes, Music comes from the bottom of our  soul;  We need it because we know

it’s the only best way to express our emotions and feelings.

Music is a universal and international language understood by all human beings.

We have found out …

were popular. Popular music belongs to any of a number of musical genres "having wide

appeal" and nowadays is typically distributed to large audiences through the music industry.
