Firstly, we study some music types.
• Folk music can have a number of different meanings,
but the original meaning of the term "folk music" was
synonymous with the term "Traditional music“. Folk
music can also describe a particular kind of
popular music which is based on traditional music.
• Classical music is a broad term that usually refers to
music produced in, or rooted in the traditions of
Western ecclesiastical and concert music,
encompassing a broad period from roughly the
9th century to present times. It was described as
something "lasts a long time," or music that has
certain instruments like violins, pianos..

• Country music is a blend of popular musical forms originally
found in the Southern United States and the Appalachian
Mountains. It has roots in traditional folk music, Celtic music,
blues, gospel music, hokum, and old-time music
• Blues is a vocal and instrumental form of music based on the
use of the blue notes. It emerged in African-American
communities of the United States from spirituals, work songs,
field hollers, shouts and chants, and rhymed simple narrative
ballads.

• Jazz is an original American musical art form which originated
around the beginning of the 20th century in African American
communities in the Southern United States out of a confluence
of African and European music traditions

• Rock music is a form of popular music with a
prominent vocal melody accompanied by guitar,
drums, and bass. Many styles of rock music also use
keyboard instruments such as organ, piano,
mellotron, and synthesizers. Other instruments
sometimes utilized in rock include harmonica, violin,
flute, banjo, melodica, and timpani. Rock music
usually has a strong back beat, and often revolves
around the guitar, either solid electric, hollow electric,
or acoustic
•
Pop music is popular music. Pop music is an ample
and imprecise category of modern music, a defining
characteristic of pop music is that anyone is able to
enjoy it
