All life is sound. We are constantly surrounded by sounds and noises produced by nature and everything in it. For thousands of years man has been speaking and singing, and thanks to his wonderfully constructed ear, perceiving sounds and noises, although they are but a small part of the inconceivable wealth of sounds filling the universe. Children everywhere and without exception are born with musical abilities with voices, and with hearing. The difference lies merely in what they do with these gifts. That varies according to temperament upbringing nationality, and time.
Nature itself is full of sound, full of music. Musical sounds existed millions of years before there was a human ear to hear them : the soft bubbling of the water, the roll of thunder, the whistling and rustling of leaves in the wind and who knows how many other audible manifestations of nature. Man was born into a world of sound. Thunder filled him with fear and became a symbol of supernatural powers. In the roar of the wind he heard the voices of demons. Dwellers at the seashore judged the temper of the gods by the sound of the waves. Religious rites and music were inseparable at the dawn of humanity.
