Music encompasses a huge variety of styles. Broadly speaking, Music includes multiple variety of folk music, jazz music, western classical music, patriotism, pop music and Indian classical music. Music began as a integral part of socio-religious life and also solely for entertainment. I am listing some broad classifications as far as India is concerned here :
The two main traditions of classical music are Carnatic music which is found in the peninsular region and Hindustani music which is found in the northern, eastern and central regions. The basic concept of this music includes Shruti (microtones), Swara (notes), Alankar (Ornamentations), Raag (Melodies) and Taal (rhythmic patterns).
It is commonly associated with the southern part of the Indian Subcontinent with its area confined to Andhra Pradesh , Tamil Nadu , Kerala and Karnataka.
This style is evolved from ancient Hindu traditions and has main emphasis on vocal music. Carnatic music is mainly sung through compositions especially the "Kriti".
Folk music involves traditional music of the communities and is mainly geography based.
3) Popular Music :
This type of music belongs to any number of musical genres "having wide appeal" and typically distributed to large audiences through the music industry. It stands in contrast to both art music and tradition music.
Popular music is sometimes called as "pop music".
It is a genre of music that originated in African - American communities in the United stated in the late 19th and 20th century. It emerged in the form of independent musical styles all link by the bond of African American musical parentage with a performance orientation . Jazz has proved to be very difficult to define since it encompasses such a wide range of music spanning a period of over 100 years from ragtime to the present day.
