Music in our life

Music accompanies us all the time. Music
reflects our life, we can say that our life
gives birth to music but our life is
different that’s why there are different
styles of music.
Country music

Country music (or country and Western) is a blend of traditional and popular
musical forms traditionally found in the Southern United States and the Canadian
Maritimes that evolved rapidly beginning in the 1920s.[1] Distinctive variations of the
genre have also emerged elsewhere including Australian country music.

Country music has produced two of the top selling solo artists of all time. Elvis
Presley, who was known early on as “the Hillbilly Cat” and was a regular on the
radio program Louisiana Hayride,[2] went on to become a defining figure in the
emergence of rock and roll. Contemporary musician Garth Brooks, with 128 million
albums sold, is the top-domestic-selling solo U.S. artist in U.S. history. Main
instruments in the country music are guitar, banjo and violin.
Rock music

Rock music is a genre of popular music that entered the
mainstream in the 1960s. It has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock
and roll, rhythm and blues, country music and also drew on folk
music, jazz and classical music. The sound of rock often revolves
around the electric guitar, bass guitar, drums, and keyboard
instruments such as hammond organ, piano, or, since the late 60s,
synthesizers. One of the most popular rock singers was Elvis
Presley.A cultural icon, he is widely known by the single name
Elvis. He is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or
simply "the King".
Pop music


Pop music (a term that originally derives from an abbreviation of
"popular") is usually understood to be commercially recorded
music, often oriented towards a youth market, usually consisting of
relatively short, simple love songs utilizing technological innovations
to produce new variations on existing themes. Pop music has
absorbed influences from most other forms of popular music, but
as a genre is particularly associated with the rock and roll and later
rock style.
The most famous pop-singers are Robbie Williams, Madonna and
Britney Spears.
Jazz


Jazz is a style of music that originated at the beginning of the 20th
century in African American communities in the Southern United
States from a confluence of African and European music traditions.
From its early development until the present, jazz has incorporated
music from 19th and 20th century American popular music.[1] Its
West African pedigree is evident in its use of blue notes,
improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation, and the swung note.[2]
The word "jazz" (in early years also spelled "jass") began as a West
Coast slang term and was first used to refer to music in Chicago in
about 1915.
Classical music

The term "classical music" did not appear until the early 19th century, in an attempt
to "canonize" the period from Johann Sebastian Bach to Beethoven as a golden age.
The earliest reference to "classical music" recorded by the Oxford English
Dictionary is from about 1836.
European music is largely distinguished from many other non-European and popular
musical forms by its system of staff notation, in use since about the 16th century.
Western staff notation is used by composers to prescribe to the performer the
pitch, speed, meter, individual rhythms and exact execution of a piece of music. This
leaves less room for practices such as improvisation and ad libitum ornamentation,
that are frequently heard in non-European art music (compare Indian classical music
and Japanese traditional music) and popular music.
Dance music


Dance music is music composed specifically to facilitate or
accompany dancing. It can be either a whole musical piece or part
of a larger musical arrangement. In terms of performance, the
major categories are live dance music and recorded dance music.
The main features of the dance songs are catchy tunes and simple
lyrics.
Hip-Hop

Hip hop or Hip-Hop is an artistic culture that originated in urban
communities during the 1970s in New York City. The phrase hip hop
is a combination two separate slang terms—"hip", used as African
American English (AAE) as early as 1898, meaning current or in the
know, and "hop", for the hopping movement.
Genres of hip – hop.
Beatbox
