Music
, which has many genres, has always been considered an essential element in
people
's lives. It has been used in religious rituals in the old civilizations and in telling stories about civilization's heritage to its
people
 and other societies. With time, new musical instruments were invented, which aided in creating more
music
 genres. Many different genres have been developed with today's technology and computers,
such
 as Pop, rock, and jazz. Those new types became international since they can share with everyone and broadcasted everywhere on television, radio, or streamed over the internet.
Music
 is essential to us. It helps us to express our ideas and emotions, like classical
music
 and romantic songs.
In addition
 to that, some
music
 types help us feel calm and relax or push us to be more active during our whole day. International
music
 help in connecting the world.
People
 can introduce their
music
 to the world and share it with other
people
 who have a mutual interest in a specific genre. Live concerts attract
people
 from different countries and diverse cultural backgrounds but share the same passion for that type of
music
. International
music
 is becoming more common and more important than an international one.
Nevertheless
, I believe that traditional
music
 is essential since it expresses a country's traditions and cultures. So, we must maintain the traditional
music
 and keep it alive, as it connects us to our roots and reminds us of our practices.
