The Beginnings

All our emotions are closely related to music as every different feeling we have will make us sound and act different giving other people a different feeling. This is what music does, it gives emotion and makes people change moods. In prehistoric times (the stone age) music was used as a key factor for communication, people would use music to hunt for food, or even survive. When hunting they would have used music to herd prey into a trap. Bones from wooly mammoths were the main hunting tools used but after realising the 'beautiful' sounds they made the people would collect animal skins and more to make drums, drum sticks, flutes and horns.
