Asian phillipene sheet music

Asian music encompasses numerous different musical styles originating from a large number of Asian cultures. Asian music most often uses the pentatonic scale. Philippine music uses 8 notes or the European way of music because Philippines was colonized by Spain. The music of Asia is as vast and unique as the many cultures and peoples who inhabit the region. Principal instrument types are two- or three-stringed lutes, the necks either fretted or fretless; fiddles made of horsehair; flutes, mostly open at both ends and either end-blown or side-blown; and Jews' harps, either metal or, often in Siberia, wooden. Percussion instruments include frame drums, tambourines, and kettledrums.

Philippine music is rich beyond compare. Most Filipinos, however, do not know this wealth, victims as they are of a broadcast media that propagate Western, particularly American entertainment music, day in and day out. If ever music written by Filipinos is given a chance to be heard, it is ninety percent of the cheap pop variety copied or adapted from foreign hits. Our young people hear almost nothing of the creative music of the people of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

Due to this the History of the Philippines merged with that of the United States, beginning with the Philippine-American War which resulted in the defeat of the First Philippine Republic and the attempted Americanization of the Philippines.
