By Edward Snyder


Banjo in other words is a five string guitar. It is easily portable as the size is small. Unlike guitar it is not completely made of wood. It contains wood, metal and animal skin. Since killing of animals are banned as per the law. Nowadays the resonator is made of synthetic material. To enhance the sound quality we have to use tone ring. A banjo tone ring is essential for the instrument.

Music is there with us for many centuries. This is the only form of entertainment in earlier times other than dance, dramas and storytelling. Even to get a good sleep we sing lullaby to children. With so much of advancement in technology even till today this art is associated with mankind.

The songs originated from small towns, villages and provinces are termed as country music. They are also known as folk songs. They are generally accompanied by simple musical instruments mostly acoustic in nature like guitar, banjos or mandolin. Sometimes they are associated with folk dance as well which adds more flavors to this art.

Guitar is an instrument that is originated after banjos. The legacy is only thousand years old. This is a hollow wooden material and is not applied for animals skin for the membrane. Since it contains wood lot of trees are cut down for this purpose. Initially this was acoustic in nature.

In modern times people started recording the song sung by a singer. Later this song is used in movies and the actors try to lip sync the music. The original singer does not appear anywhere in the stage. This form is known as playback singing. The best part is the song can be recorded at a different location and the pictures can be taken after sometime in some other place.

Movies or film making is very recent evolution. Initially there was no sound in motion pictures. It was only the expressions. These types of films were called as silent movies. Later it was introduced with only songs. After that the action and dialog came into the picture. The entertainment industry has evolved over the period of time.

A very small group of people gather to perform music along with instruments is called as a band. Minimum there will be four members. When they perform on the stage it is called as concert. These people can use acoustic or electrical items for the program. There are vocalist, two guitarists and a drummer. There can be more than four persons as well.

Scientifically it has been proven that music has a vast effect on humans, plants and animals. This is the reason why it existed on earth for centuries. Listening to songs increases the learning ability, reduces anxiety and depression. There is only one negative effect of music that is listening songs loudly can damage the ear drums.

The only thing that we can say which has no harmful effects is the sound of musical instruments and songs. They generate lot of positive energy to the environment. Learning songs and instruments increases the sharpness in the brain.
