Western music encompasses anything produced in the "Western" world (not to be confused with USA's western, or "country" music): in Europe, the Americas, and some Slavic countries. Think of Western Music as being anything with Equal Temperament; that is to say, if it can be played on a standard piano, it is probably Western. Western music can be both liturgical (church music) and secular (performance or commercial music). Western music dates back to the middle ages in Medieval Europe.

Although there has been a clear separation of Western and eastern music for centuries, in recent years the line between them has begun to blur. Thanks in part to global trade [and even moreso] the internet, more Eastern music composers are making music in Western tonalities, and vice versa. Take, for example, films such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." The film's soundtrack features a full orchestra (like one might find in a European concert hall) with some additional, more traditional Chinese instrumentation.

Take voice lessons ... you cannot learn to sing properly on your own. There is far much more to singing like breath control, inhaling to the diaphragm and not the chest, things you will not be able to know about unless taught, and taught properly, especially if you wish to become international known.

The next step during lessons is to practice ... practice ... practice ... practice ... practice ... practice ... and then practice some more after you think you are done practicing. The only way to get professional is to consistently vocalize in the manner proscribed by your voice tutor/teacher.

Next, try to get some singing experience performing in front of an audience. Stage fright is very real and the very first time you perform in front of a large group you will most likely be nervous. When we get nervous we tend to forget what we learned about proper breathing technique and we lose the ability to project our voice to the back of the hall.

Become a member of a group that has regular performance gigs ... a duet, quartet, or multi voice choir will keep that voice in tune and ready to make beautiful music.

Possibly the best top dollar figure (mint condition - with everything working, no case scratches, and having the original owners manual, too) would be around $500 depending on the particular demand and availability in your region. However, asking price is one thing ... what one will get is completely a different story.

The tonic, sub-dominant and dominant are the most important. They re-affirm the given key and are also called primary chords. They form the basis of the cadence and are instrumental to the quality of the melody.

After Baroque comes the Classical Era which is not to be confused with the Classical music in general. This era gave birth to musical giants such as Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, all who formed the 1st Viennese School. The Romantic period or the Rococo if you want to be specific, follows the Classical Period.

The Classical period starts roughly at 1751 after the death of J.S. Bach.

Yes. Off the top of my head the Bach family comes to mind:

J.S.: The "Coffee Cantata". Yes, I know that's technically drink but it is in the general category. The fictional son of J.S, - P.D.Q., (Perer Schickele) wrote "The Seasonings."

Classical music wasn't as you know it today. Today we have multiple genres spanning the entire music scene of the world. Several centuries ago Classical music was simply music. There was no disparity between what was classical and what was not. Nearly everything of the time was classical therefore it became popular from its inception. In terms of instrumental classical music, that took off at the demise of the Baroque Period and beginning of the Classical period. Rising middle-class wages allowed for a wider range of audience in virtuoso performances and public orchestras. Music was a sign of prestige and therefore those who could not perform at least attended. It was one of the primary sources of entertainment besides plays. Popularity for classical music has dwindled since the 19th century. And there is little hope it will be revived through the few neo-classical artists remaining.
