During 300 CE to 1400 CE the time of the Early Middle Ages and the Late Middle Ages took place, and changed a little each step of the way.

Christianity and feudalism were about the only thing that stayed the same throughout this period of time. Religion in the Early Middle Ages was based on monasticism that is where one renounces worldly pursuits to devote oneself fully to spiritual work. (Bishop, 144) The first to use monasticism was the Egyptian Hermits who went back to the deserts. The Monastic Ideal was highly used in the world. For example, Hinduism and Buddhism thought this was the way to go and you should not live any other way. There were three vows that individuals had to make, and they were poverty, chastity and obedience. Those who chose to live the monastic life had to live in poverty and had to only concentrate on sprit. Almost every monastery followed St. Benedict’s rules very faithfully. Some rules were that they could only eat bread and vegetables, they could not drink wine that was later changed to a limit of half a pint a day and had to wake up at certain hours.

In the Early Middle Ages, monastic scribes and scholars used Christianity and classical authors writing to further use in their tradition. For example, Hrotsvit of Gandersheim, a Roman Comedian. During this age, women communities were about the only way they would get the scholarly life they needed. Women were not offered any schooling like men did.

Léonin wrote a book called the Magnus Liver Organi that had singing techniques written in it. His teachings at the school inspired more people into the organum music style. Notre Dame also provided more advanced musical notation and training. Other universities were self-governed organizations made up of teachers and students becoming lawyers and clerks. There were three studies offered at other universities, such as, theology, law and medicine. Almost all women were excluded, so they did not get the advanced learning that men
