how music has changed over the past 50 years

How American Music Has Changed Over The Past 50 Years People have often wondered if music has always been around. Well, to answer that question I did some research to find out where our music originated. Our first reliable music records came from the Greeks and the Romans. Americans musical history is very short when compared to Japan, India, Africa, and China. We don't know much about our history until about 590-604 A.D. when people began to write music down, the first music that was written down was songs sung in churches. Another often asked question I decided to research is why people write music. I got a lot of different answers for this question.

I got the answer that music affects everyone differently, however certain kinds of music can change how people feel. For example heavy metal music will make you feel differently than classical music will make you feel.Music varies greatly around the world, mostly because it has a lot to do with culture.

Some older people look down on this, but I think music gives teens a sense of who they are, the kind of music you listen to shows who you are.Music is made with many different kinds of instruments and/or your voice.
