Styles of Music
Classical
Classical music was the music of European courts and big concert halls.Specifically,classical music refers to orchestral music of the 18th and early 19th century.Classical music is played with traditional European instruments,often in large orchestras.Beethoven and Mozart are two of the most famous classical composers.Classical music is enjoyed by many for its rich and beautiful melodies.
Blues
Blues started off as the music of African slaves brought to the United States.It is closely related to the music of West Africa.It became wellknown throughout the world through such musicians as Muddy Waters and B.B.King.In many ways,blues music remains an important element in many of today's popular tunes.
Jazz
Jazz grew out of blues.As with blues,one of the important elements of jazz is improvisation.Improvisation happens when a musician plays unwritten music to fit the mood of the occasion.
One of the most famous names in jazz is Miles Davis.He was famous for always finding new ways of playing jazz,and for many people this represented the spirit of jazz.
Rock ‘n’ Roll and Rock
Rock ‘n’ roll developed from fast blues.Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley were the big names in rock ‘n’ roll and a famous band in England took the music and made their own sounds from it.When the guitars got louder and the guitar solos got longer,rock ‘n’ roll became just rock.Now rock is one of the most popular forms of music in the world and its fans can be seen from Beijing to Boston and all the places in between.
