Traditional Chinese music can be traced back to around 7,000-8,000 years ago. This is due to the discovery of a bone flute made in the Neolithic age. Traditional Chinese instruments include the Horse-Headed Fiddle ( bowed stringed intrument with a carved horses head), the Lute (pipa), the Ertu and the flute, just to name a few. All traditional Chinese music is melodic rather than harmonic. Traditional Chinese music is normally sung solo rather than in a group. The singer would normally sing in a thin voice and would sing poems to music.
