Assignment # 5

Jazz music has no definate roots. I took a Jazz and American Pop music class last semester and found that there were lots of places that Jazz came from. One of the major developments in Jazz was when slaves were freed and moved into cities in the north. They were then allowed to be themselves and enjoy making music. Some jazz has roots in other places such as New Orleans. It is unique to Americans because it was written by Americans and is completely original to the United States.

In Peter and the Wolf:
Peter is represented by the strings. The duck is an oboe the wolf is and the bird is a flute. The grandfather is a bassoon, and the hunters are the woodwinds.

Classical music
Bach and Beethoven are examples of classical music. To me classical music sounds soothing and like something that people would dance to in lines at a fancy banquet. It reminds me of the movie the Pride and Predudice.
