  • a long time ago, a caveman dropped a rock and made a noise. as his friend was being chased by a T-rex, the friend started screaming. the other caveman kept dropping rocks to keep a beat, and that was the first ever screamo song. and music was born
  • I always assumed it existed through nature and people wanted to make similar sounds. That or some cavemen beating on a rock/two sicks together/stomping while singing.
  • hands slapping rocks and legs and listening to birds.
  • If could have been that the people of old civilization could've accidentally slapped some animal skin that was stretched out over a large surface then it produced the sound of the drum which was investigated and later they would play with horse hair and later discovered that it produced sound and then used it in pianos. Then people began to realize that just about anything produced sound so they began to realize that if you were to take your nails and scrape against a string that it would produce a kind of scratching sound so they manipulated that and later created a violin. Alot of things have been discovered by accident through the ages. However the earliest form of music was obviously the voice which was manipulated to form high and low keys which was combined to make a song which is composed of high and low keys telling some sort of stories which probably began along time ago with people who would sit around fires telling stories of their adventure and they might have used song to help explain the story or adventure.
  • Like this, probably.
  • The caveman would have had the first opportunity for music,by imitating the animals and birds,thus singing.
  • Salvaging the good from Motoarena's post, I would say that Adam and Eve might have had great voices with their perfect bodies, and I have to believe they would have been singing in the garden, even if their only audience was that serpent!
  • While it probably took quite a while to actually develop the kinds of harmonies depicted in video Dave the Magnificent posted, it probably isn't too far off as to how music first got started. The first examples of music were probably very similar to the chants of the American Indians with their relatively small tone ranges and lack of harmony. The records that we do have of European music indicate that harmony is a relatively recent invention. I don't discount the possibility that other societies may have been using harmonies earlier, than I am aware of, but in European music, there is no record of harmony in music until around the end of the ninth century AD.
