Today, music is different and takes many forms around the world. The music we are most familiar with is Western music. But other cultures have their own brand of music. The cultures of Asia and Africa have their own expressions. Of Western music, there are two chief kinds, classical and popular.
Classical music includes symphonies, operas and ballets.
Popular music would be country, folk, jazz and rock. The students in this project have elected to explore the genres of jazz, classical, gospel, rap, disco and rock and roll. There is probably not one culture in the world that does not value the importance of music. People use music in personal and social activities, in work, and in ceremonies. People play music for their own enjoyment.
