== What is music? ==
Strictly speakingMusic is difficult to define, ''music'' means sound having any organization at all, while ''noise'' as it is purely random sounddifficult to extricate a clinical definition of the word from the inherent value judgments that accompany it.

Some Inevitably, some music (particularly some types of modern composers have attempted to stretch the definition of music by using noises in a manner that they insist ) is organized.

Furthermore, "What is it about some of the most sophisticated music that so moves our spirit attempts to imitate the sounds made by birds, insects, and mind that it remains long after our other memories fade?" <ref>http://www.kidsnet.org/sfkc/sfkc20051230-1animals.html</ref>
