Learning music in ancient Greece was a part of the education and the boys were taught music from the age of six. Instruments used were aulos, lyre, and kithara.  The music was later influenced by the Roman Empire and then the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantine Empire lasted from 330 to 1453. The music was inspired from Jewish music which had monophonic vocals and evolved from the early Christian era. After the Byzantine came the Ottoman Empire.
