No Music
Obviously, the Amish do not own iPods or radios, but they cannot even make music! If the Amish were to play an instrument, that would be considered self-expression. According to the Amish, self-expression could lead to pride. Hey, some may agree that celebrity musicians do have a bit of pride. However, it sounds like a pretty tough life to live without music. Could you do it?

Special Singing
Well, the Amish do sing, but their church singing is not like anything you’ve ever imagined. The Amish take their songs from something called Ausbunch. This is oldest Protestant church hymnal in use. Basically, it’s their High German church songbook. In fact, their songs do not go according to specific musical notes, but rather are church tunes passed through the generations.
