But there are as many different kinds of music as di fferent languages, and it is impossible to describe them all. Here are just a few well-known types.Classical music is serious Western European music from the Middle Ages(1500) to t he present and it was often written for a large orchestra, or for a small group of play ers. Many instruments can be used. A lot of music was also written to be sung as op era. Classical music is very popular and schools often teach this type of music.Jazz developed in the Southern States of North America at the beginning of last c entury. The black people of these states, who were originally slaves from Africa, had their own rhythms. Jazz brought classical music and African rhythms together.Blues was originally Black Country music, which also came from the Southern Stat es of last century. It is slow, usually sad music, which is often sung by one person w ith a guitar.Rhythm and blues developed from the Blues in America in the 1940s. It became f aster and more complex and used more instruments, e.g. saxophone, guitar, piano, drums. The music was often about city life and white musicians started playing it as w ell.Musicians in the 1950s developed Rock from Rhythm and Blues and it became po pular with young people. It spread to Europe in the 1960s and is now known in most countries. A lot of pop music comes from Rock and Roll.Pop music developed from Rock and Roll in America, Britain and Europe in the 19 60s and is now in every country.
