What is Music? "An artistic form of auditory communication incorporating instrumental or vocal tones in a structured and continuous manner." "Any pleasing and harmonious sound."  "The sounds produced by singers or musical instruments."  Music as human expression is universal, even if musical styles are not! (Source: wordnet.princeton.edu)

Seminar Questions How can you best define folk, ragtime, jazz, rock, pop, and hip-hop music? Have they influenced each other or do they seem distinct? Who do you see as being the new standard bearers in different genres? Why do you believe they achieve this status? What do the standard bearers communicate about the time, place, culture, influences, and circumstances that lead to these musical expressions?
See you on the Boards! Thanks for watching, Dr. McCarthy
