Intruction
Music has witnessed great strides in humanity being the subject of relaxation, concentration, emotion and expression.
Classical music regarded as the ultimate expression of sound (or at least so I believe) is a genre that has attracted worldwide criticism for its structure. But aside opinions and contradictions of others I believe that this is a pure and beautiful expression, sincethe tune feels a sense of concentration and spiritual relaxation is so simple melody.
This type of music I have always rated as one of my favorite genres and I greatly admire all kinds of melody from this since for me has always been exciting to have the joy of listening, not hearing such music, for now only to understand it is to be taken into account much dedication and focus that we put to themelody, because if you only hear without listening, it makes no sense interpretation of it.
This type of music, long before entering high school, I felt an enormous pleasure to hear this music because since I started listening (about since I was in high school), I felt an irresistible attraction for this music because since the considered different from many of the genres that today are causinggreat impact on my social environment, because although this has not affected me a lot in these genres and I think my musical preference is not inclined to different genres or has been modified as such.

However, the score does not usually contain explicit instructions on how to interpret the work, in addition to dynamic and tempo addresses; this is at the discretion of the performers, who are guided by their personal experience and musical education, there knowledge of the language of workand the accumulated body of historical performance practice

Beginning
Art music came to take elements from other musical traditions: the music of ancient Greece and ancient Rome music (especially for its theoretical contributions), the music of the Catholic Church (especially Gregorian chant).
