Summary
Let’s go back thousands of years to the Ice Age and prehistoric times before written history. We hear music coming from inside the prehistoric hut. What do you think is the oldest musical instrument in human history? Did prehistoric people have other musical instruments?
Around 3 months of age, deaf and hearing babies make cooing sounds like singing. Parents sing, hum, or play music to their babies to calm them down if they are crying or upset.
Who did the ancient Egyptians think invented music? Which instruments are thought to be the oldest? In 1500 BC, what musical instruments do you think the Hittites had? When do you think that the oldest songs were written down? Who did the ancient Chinese think invented music? Why are there 12 notes in an octave?
