Music has a history that can be traced back and dated to the beginning of mankind. Primitive man fashioned instruments out of anything and everything, from bone and wood to stone and animal skins.

As time moved forward musical instruments and music itself became more sophisticated. Prehistoric music and musical instruments existed prior to the invention of the modern written word. Prehistoric cultures enjoyed music that is today referred to as folk and traditional music.

As music evolved so did musical compositions and songs. It is probable that many songs were written prior to the invention of a modern written language. In fact, songs were probably written and memorized since the beginning of time. However, since music was around prior to the invention of the written word, the songs and notes that were played are lost. The oldest known song on record is over four thousand years old.

Music today encompasses many of the traits and characteristics that were evident throughout the years of musical history.

Performing music takes a lot of talent and practice. Most musicians practice and learn for many years before they are able to perform professionally. Professional musicians will usually also have a lot of education and training. There are schools around the world that are dedicated to the training and teaching of musicians.

Schools teach students the history of music, musical theory, and how to play their selected musical instruments. Some of the most popular music and performing schools are: Julliard School of Music, the National Conservatory of Paris for Music and Dance, and the Longy School of Music.

Once a musician learns to play one type of musical instrument it may be easier for him or her to move on to another instrument, and he or she can usually learn the new instrument just as well as the first instrument. One of the most well known musicians that played multiple musical instruments was Johnny Carson. He was also known as a popular television personality.

Learning a musical instrument is not an easy task. Musicians often begin to learn a musical instrument during childhood and advance their skills as they grow. However, some people may just be fast learners or have a good musical ear. As a result, these people can boast a high level of musical skills with minimal training and practice.
