1) Jazz is a specific musical art form. It is characterized by blue notes, syncopation, swing, call and response, polyrhythms, and improvisation. It originated from an earlier music called “blues”. It’s very improvisational. It has been called the first original art form to develop in the USA. Jazz has its roots in West African culture and was brought to America as blacks immigrated to the cities. The first mainstream form of jazz came from early marching bands. The instruments from these bands carried over into jazz of today: brass, reeds, and drums. The United States wasn’t known for creating new or innovative art forms. This is why jazz is so unique. When it became popular in places like New Orleans, people were shocked because it was such a mixture of musical styles (ragtime, blues, marches, etc.).

3) Classical music is a broad, somewhat imprecise term, referring to music produced in, or rooted in the traditions of, European art, ecclesiastical and concert music, particularly between 1000 and 1900. Classical music is mostly performed in a solemn or quiet place. The audience is usually very quiet and respectful. This is so that everyone can hear every note played. Classical music is usually played by the instruments in an orchestra, such as the violin. Prominent composers of the Classical era include Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, Johann Stamitz, Joseph Haydn, Johann Christian Bach, Antonio Salieri, Muzio Clementi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Luigi Boccherini.
