Music Influences of Asia

​Northern Asia is the country of Russia. Russian music combines both European and Asian styles and is often described as passionate and mystical.

​Western Asian music has two main characteristics; the use of the drone (a constant sustained pitch) and unusually close intervals.

​The music of Southern and Southeast Asia is highly rooted in religious and cultural traditions. Because of this, music is extremely diverse across the regions.

The main factor is the special scales or pitch collections the music is built on.

​​Central Asia was the home to the Silk Road, a trade route from Europe through Asia. Traveling musicians brought their melded styles along the route. Bowed string instruments are also thought to have been developed in this region.
