Music was used for amusement and religious purposes in the lives of prehistoric and ancient peoples. Music's role back then was comparable to its position now; music is still employed as a key form of entertainment and for some religious purposes. It has not really changed compared to pre-historic times.

Answer:

Music in prehistoric times was used as a way of expressing oneself, entertainment, and religious support. The role of music really has not changed from prehistoric times and now.
