Book Cover & Preview Text
Did you ever wonder how music came to be? Well, ever since the cave man first learned to beat a drum, music has been at the center of our way of life. Music is used to communicate, to express emotion, or simply as an art form. Music is made up of sounds, so maybe it began in nature; the first sounds that were heard. There was the whistling of the wind, the pitter-patter of rain drops as they fell, birds chirping and even the silence of still water. So, I would say that there is music in nature.
