Music makes the world go round

Music besides money is another thing that makes the world go round. Music is many different things; music can be just one man singing or a complete choir. Also there are many different genres of music. These genres a broken up into four main categories. These categories consist of Classic, Rock, Rap, and also country. Music also has many different affects of people, and it can also put you into different moods. Another thing that music does is it classifies people. Also some people actually make a living off of music

Music is a very open word. When you speak about music you must be very specific on what you are talking about, because music can have a complete different meaning from one person to another. When I normally think of music I think of a band. Usually the band consists of a singer, guitarist, bassist, and also a drummer. That could be the complete opposite of what someone else thinks of when they hear the word music. Music can be one man singing in a shower or an entire choir singing of a stage. Music can be a man on the streets playing the saxophone or music can be an Orchestra.

There are four major different genres of music. These genres consist of Rock, Rap, Country and Classical. Rock music is usually played with a band consisting of a drummer, guitarist, singer and a bassist. Rock music is usually up beet and fast, but then you do have those rock songs that are slower. Then you have your newer age rock and your older rock. Newer rock consists of bands such as Gym class heroes, Nickelback, and also As I lay dying. Older rock music consists of bands such as ACDC, The Rolling Stones and Black Sabbath. Then you have your Rap music. Rap is usually with one up to six rappers in one song. A rap song usually has a beat a chorus and lyrics. Just as in Rock music there is older country and newer country. Country songs have a variety of instruments. The steel guitar is most commonly found in country songs. There are many different types of classical music. Some classical music is just played with one man and a piano. Then you have some classical music that is played with an entire orchestra. All these different types of music all have their older and there newer music though. That is because music has been around for such a long time, and will never die.

Music can also put people into different moods. I myself when stressed and need of some R and R put in some Bob Marley and sit back and relax. Bob Marley is a very laid back reggae music. Bob Marley relaxes me and
