Traditional Music
Traditional music is a modern name for what has
been called "folk music", excluding the expansion
of the term folk music to include much nontraditional material. The defining characteristics
of traditional music are:
Oral transmission: The music is handed down and
learned through singing, listening, and sometimes
dancing. It is passed down without written sheet
music.
Cultural basis: The music comes from and is part of
the traditions of a particular region or culture.
Folk Music
Folk music includes both traditional music and the
genre that evolved from it during the 20th century folk
revival. The term originated in the 19th century but is
often applied to older music. Some types of folk music
are also called world music.
Traditional folk music has been defined in several
ways: as music transmitted by mouth, as music of the
lower classes, and as music with unknown composers.
It is not music made for money.
Folk music is usually music that has been transmitted
and evolved by a process of oral transmission or
performed by custom over a long period of time; these
songs would be passed down from generation to
generation, which is why there are often many
variations.
Folk Music
Folk music generally identifies with a particular
nation and provides a common ground for
immigrants. Examples include music from Greece,
Latin America, France, Africa, Israel, Asia, or the
American Indians.
Folk Music often commemorates a personal or
historical event such as religious festivals, funerals,
weddings, etc. These songs may also be
accompanied by traditional dances or costumes.

Art Music
Art music (also known as serious music) is an
general term used to refer to musical traditions
implying a more complicated structure and a
written musical tradition.

musicians to perform it, unlike traditional music and
popular music, which are easily. accessible to everyone.

Popular Music
Popular music belongs to any of a number of
musical genres "having wide appeal” and is
typically distributed to large audiences through
the music industry. It stands in contrast to both

smaller, local audiences.

and refers to music of all ages that appeals to
popular tastes of society.
