Music is found in every known culture, past and present, varying wildly between times and places. Since all people of the world, including the most isolated tribal groups, have a form of music, it is likely to have been present in the ancestral population prior to the dispersal of humans around the world. Consequently music may have been in existence for at least 50,000 years. The first music may have been invented in Africa and then evolved to become a fundamental constituent of human life.
Popular modern music has evolved into songs.
In this video, Pentatonix give a brief rundown of songs from the 11th century to the present time with brilliant voices and choices.

With music playing such an important part throughout history, we should accept its importance to mankind. It's been scientifically proven that singing is good for you. Open your mouth and sing. What's stopping you? Wrong time? Wrong place? Piffle. Convention. Go on. You know you want to.
I love listing to music! My favourite type is musical theatre soundtracks. I can't seem to get enough of Les Miserables, Jesus Christ Superstar and Miss Saigon at the moment!
Francene, I absolutely love your last line "Piffle." haha! Singing is absolutely a wonderful blessing. I was talking about this with some other moms, and we realized that when travelling in a car, when the kids started getting irritating or fractious, the thing we always did was to start SINGING! It always turns moods around. Such a great thing to write about!
