Were done on Musical Instruments, we’ll now go to its genres

Genre

Is a conventional category that identifies pieces of music as belonging to a shared tradition or set of conventions.

Like people, music has its own different categories. Different styles and ways, that will flow to the listeners.

Country

Country music often consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally simple forms and harmonies accompanied by mostly string instruments such as banjos, electric and acoustic guitars, fiddles, and harmonicas

.

Acoustic

is music that solely or primarily uses instruments that produce sound through acoustic means

Rock

is a genre of popular music that originated as "rock and roll" in the United States. Musically, rock has centered on the electric guitar, usually as part of a rock group with electric bass guitar and drums.

Pop

The terms "popular music" and "pop music" are often used interchangeably, even though the former is a description of music which is popular.

Hip Hop

• It is characterized by four distinct elements, all of which represent the different manifestations of the culture: rap music (oral), turntablism or "DJing" (aural), b-boying (physical) and graffiti art (visual).

Jazz

Jazz emerged in many parts of the United States of independent popular musical styles; linked by the common bonds of European American and African-American musical parentage with a performance orientation.

Gospel

is a music genre in Christian music. The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of gospel music varies according to culture and social context.

You see.. Music is far more than what we just hear..

There are different styles, tones, ways, instruments, and etc; that we can relate to real life situation. That is why I believe that Music is far more than what we can just hear, or imagine.

It can penetrate inside of us..

“It allows a human being to take all these dry, technically boring (but difficult) techniques and use them to create emotion. That is one thing science cannot duplicate: humanism, feeling, emotion, call it what you will.”

I hope that you enjoy and learned more about Music!
