Music is a combination of voice and sound, it's not just combining these sounds together but a series of sounds organized in time, employing melody, harmony, tempo and etc. Music usually convey a mood that it could be enchanting and hypnotizing depending on it nature.
Music is a form of art and cultural activity. Its medium is sound, only when sound is brought to harmony and not noise. The different types of music may emphasize, or omit some of its elements, it is performed with a vast range of instrument and vocal techniques. Music only exist when a sound is in harmony or when sounds are in harmony. Researchers says female voice often sound like music to men, this is because once sound coming into the ears and its frequency is in harmony it automatically will become music.
However, 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound could be music, that there's infact no noise at all, well that would be if only the sound comes in same frequency then it resonates, and once it's pleasing to the ears you can't help but listen. Music varies in culture, ie, the creation, performance and it's significant. Over the decades, music has evolved in divers forms and styles that some of it are criticized not to be music at all.
Music can be divided into genres and the genres into subgenres. It's performing art as in auditory art, it can be played or sung and heard live at an orchestra performance or rock concert, also heard live as part of a dramatic work in a music theatershow or it may be recorded and listened to on MP3 player, smartphone, radio, TV and etc.
Music plays an important role in many cultures and people's way of life also in religious rituals, rite of passage ceremonies like marriage and graduation and indoor/outdoor social activities like dancing. You see people going for karaoke singing and even joining the church choir because most of them make music as a hobby while some as profession.Music is just so part of the human life and it can not be left out.
It is also used medicine, on the psychiatry field to restore those who had lost their memory since it's a power time machine that could travel your mind back to the moment you've already lived. Moreover depending on what happened at a particular time, music either would make you sad over the past, happy or missing those moments.
It's a powerful tool in relationships and love life. One is advised to listen to good music as it could help you mentally. Don't be too surprised there are bad or corrupt musics that set one's mind towards negativity, this is what you want to avoid on any known bad side effect of music.
