| A Contest to see who has the best music IDing ears |
On Thursday, we will have a music listening test similar to what we did on Saturday. The difference is that this test will only play a few seconds of the music and you will have to identify it. To be successful, you should remember the following keys:
banjo and fiddle usually means folk
harmonica is almost always blues
anything with an organ is usually gospel
steel guitar along with regular guitar usually means country
sax and drums and bass means jazz
a quick sounding jazz piece could mean ragtime
guitar with a fast pace usually is rock
vocalizing with two to four singers usually indicates doo wop
lots of instruments to include clarinet, sax, trumpets should be a give me for big band
fiddle and banjo at quick time is probably bluegrass
some slow harmonizing with guitar could mean Negro spiritual
You guys should be able to pick out metal and rap
Good luck when I see you on Thursday. There will be prizes for the winners of this contest. |
