Like film, music means so many different things to different people around the world.

From all the worlds instruments, languages, lyrics, sounds, music is the past, present and will be the future.

Have you ever heard a song that minded you of a special person, a special place, a special time in your life?

How music is created, heard, enjoyed, changes as we continue to change. Remember the 8 track tapes, the vinyl albums, the 45′ s that cost $1.00, enabling you to play your favorite song over and over again in your bedroom.

Remember the Walkman and the AM and FM radio that allowed us to take our music with us?

From Spirituals to Blues to Jazz to R & B to Rock & Roll to Gospel, music has a variety of ways it has been categorized to define the type of music it is.

The way music was heard to how it is heard today has traveled from the village hearing the beating of the drum, to songs sang in the fields, to songs tied to prayers to remind of us of our God, our ancestors, a place we once called our home.

Music expresses many of our beliefs, our cultures, our dance, our fashion, our ways of expressing how we feel.
