Episode 1: Musicians

Many ponies enjoy music. It provides a way to relieve yourself of any stress, or to enjoy when you're having a simple car ride. Back then, the first ponies that invented music, did so only hundreds of years ago. Many ponies can't agree on who the first musician was, but the answers can prove to be interesting.

Octavia: I think the first pony to be a musician was somepony who likes the same type of music like me. In fact, everypony should like the same type of music that I like. It would make the whole world simple.
Maud: Whoever invented music must have used rocks to create it.
Twilight: Man, whoever invented music had a lotta swag. Kanye West, I betcha he invented music. I've been listenin to all them songs he creates, along with all them other rappaz.
Applejack: Elvis Presley.

Nopony is entirely sure who first invented music, but it certainly has come a long way. Some of the oldest music known to ponies is called, classical music.

Then, by the 1800's, another form of music was created. More ponies wanted to hear music with pianos in it, and so many musicians had that arranged.

Vinyl Scratch: Ah, pianos. Not as cool as a bass cannon, but they're still cool to play with. Wait a minute, maybe I can get a piano that can play dubstep! That would be awesome!!
Twilight: Man, pianos have been used in a lot of rap. Dat's awesum.
Carrot Top: Wait, what's a piano? Is it something I can put my carrots in? Because I've been having a lot of ponies stealing my carrots.
Pinkie Pie: Pianos? Zhose are wunderbar. My friend Spike played one of zhose vhen ve vere together in Appleloosa, und I had to sing a song about sharing vith others.
Narrator: What's with the accent? Are you german?
Pinkie Pie: Ja.

Hundreds of ponies that turned into famous musicians have played the piano. It's been used for many types of music, such as classical music, jazz, rock & roll, and country.
