Since time immemorial, music has been embedded in life. It seeps into arts and culture, finds expression in language, and has great affect on lifestyle. The origin of music dates back to the earliest of civilization, thereby making it difficult to pinpoint the exact date whence it started. Robert Schumann, a German composer, noted, “Perhaps it is precisely the mystery of her origins which accounts for the charm of her beauty.
Whether vocal or instrumental, music can be viewed as a form of language or speech, possessing subtler shades of meaning than the spoken word and yet displaying much more emotive force. There seems to be something innate in human being that gives them the capacity to understand and respond to musical tones, rhythms, and pattern.
