We learned that synthesizers can produce a wide range of sounds.  Synthesizers can imitate the sounds of other instruments or produce entirely new sounds.  Electronic music is music that is made from electronic instruments and other electronic technology.  Synthesizers and computers also play a part in the production of electronic music.

Electronic music developed in the early 1900s.  Since then the composition of electronic music has exploded!  Now electronic music ranges from purely experimental sound to electronic dance music.
