Introduction

What is music? I can tell you for a fact that there is not one single answer to that question that can speak for everyone. Music means something different to every single person in the world but what the music can do too each of these people is the same. Music makes people happy, it inspires them, it can make you laugh and it can make you cry at the same time, it can raise awareness for a cause, and herein lies the awesome power of music, which can arouse such powerful emotions within you with a few simple bars of notes. The layout for this project is very simple, I will present whatever I find in the form of case studies. We will first begin with examples of both occidental and oriental instruments followed by 2 conventional types of musical instruments and then one unconventional musical instrument after which I will present a case study on a national singing superstar as well as an international singing superstar followed by a case study on a rare musical instrument and lastly I will present my views on how music has inspired the present generation.
