How to define music has long been the subject of debate; philosophers, musicians, and, more recently, various social and natural scientists have argued about what constitutes music. The definition has varied through history, in different regions, and within societies. Definitions vary as music, like art, is a subjectively perceived phenomenon. Its definition has been tackled by philosophers of art, lexicographers, composers, music critics, musicians, semioticians or semiologists, linguists, sociologists, and neurologists. Music may be defined according to various criteria including organization, pleasantness, intent, social construction, perceptual processes and engagement, universal aspects or family resemblances, and through contrast or negative definition.

How so ever we define music the important thing is that music is now a very important part of our culture, society, and all in all our very own lives. Music no longer just remains as a thing to pass our time with or just a hobby, but today music industry is one of the largest industries. C’mon music industry is one of the few industries which are spread over almost all the languages, apart from music and the movie industry there may not be any other industry which is spread so wide. Today a large population earn their lively hood from the music industry it includes not only the singers who sing the song but a lot others like the people who play musical instruments for a living then there are the music directors, the producers, the mixers and a lot of other people. Hence the music industry touches our lives one way or other if we like it or not.

Now talking about a particular genre of the huge music industry the Christian music industry, the life of Christian music has changed rapidly over the last few decades before which Christian was a very small part of the entire music industry and was mainly the once produced directly by various churches for distribution to its particular parishioners and not for a nationwide or worldwide distribution. In the earlier days there were very few who would spend their entire time on Christian music but only do it as a part time activity and not as a full time profession, but today it has changed because today Christian music is a very important and a very big part of the entire music industry today it has almost become like an entire another stream in the big music industry which cannot be taken lightly.

In the end would just like to say that those who used to think that the Christian music industry is a very small part of the huge music industry are very wrong because today it is one of the fastest growing genre will continue to be the same for some time to come.
