Today in American culture, we appreciate music which is classified as 'Western
Music'. Western Music originated in Europe where composers such as Beethoven,
Schumann and Chopin (to name a few) inspired future composers giving our society
the music we have today. However, one must wonder where Western Music
originated. It was with mathematical genius's such as Pythagoras, that created solid
musical structures and a method to tune both reed and string instruments for
Ancient Greek Music which gradually aided in the creation of Western Music.
