MUSICAL

GENRES
AND
STYLES
 Music comes in all shapes and sizes!
• One of the best things about music is the variety
of music available to us. Music is often organized
by commonalities we find throughout, like:
– How does it sound?
– Where is the music from?
– What are the instruments you here?
– What is the purpose of the music?
As you look through the slides, enjoy the samples of
music, and see if you can answer the questions above!!
