Read the passage and answer the questions or choose the best answer Nobody knows for certain what the origin of music was. Music is certainly older than poetry and painting but as early man had no way of recording it, we can only guess what it sounded like. Watching a child banging on a drum with its hands or a piece of wood, it is easy to see that this is the simplest of instruments. It does not take much effort to produce a rhythm on it. Wall paintings show what some of the first instruments looked like. Early civilizations had already discovered the three basic ways of producing music: blowing into a flute, striking an object, and scraping a string. We know that western music comes from the ancient Greeks. The musical scales we use now are based on certain sequences of notes which the Greeks used to create a particular mood.
