We dance to music and music tells our feelings. It changes feelings, too. It can make us sad and it can make us happy. It can make us quiet when we are angry. It can even make us feelbetter when we are sick. Music is amazing! It is ancient, too. Thousands of years ago, people used to sing folk songs about their simple lives. And from these came much modern music – rock music, for example, in America in the 1950s. Classical Arab music developed many centuries ago from the folk music of many cultures and from their poems. People used to put these to music, so singing was very important – and still is. People love great singers like OumKalthoum and Farid Al-Atrash. However, musical instruments are very important, too, and many people agree that the greatest of these is the ’oud. People used to play a simple kind of ’oud six thousand years ago, but musicians developed the modern instrument about a thousand years ago. It remains a very important instrument today.
