In class the other day, Betsy asked if music made by animals is still considered music. It is organized sound. It is made to be pleasing to others of the species. In my opinion it is still considered music.
However, if music is something that is human made, this would not be possible.
If it is a social construction, it can be though; music made by animals is to get mates, a social behavior.
Perhaps certain creatures (humans included) have an innate sense of music??

I think they (we) do (along with other animals), grounded in the natural rhythms of biology and our native recognition of harmony.
I agree with you Nikki and DK, music comes in many forms, created by diverse creatures for various reasons - but it is still music to our ears or whatever sensory organs it takes to appreciate it.
