In our class you will learn how to create music With DAWs (Digital Audio Workstation)
The genres can be:
1. Rock
Otherwise known as ‘Rock & Roll,’ rock music has
been a popular genre since the early 1950s. Rock
music has its roots in string instruments. However,
the genre now includes modern instruments;
therefore, it is hard to give rock music an accurate
definition. Characterized by loud, strong guitars and
charismatic rock stars, some of the world’s greatest
musicians have paved their way to fame via rock
music.
Some of the greatest music artists of all time were
considered rock stars. These include John Lennon,
Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley, Freddie Mercury, and
Mick Jagger.
2. Jazz
Identifiable with blues and swing notes, Jazz has
origins in European and West African culture.
Originating in the late 19th to early 20th century,
Jazz has played a historical role in empowering
female performers, particularly during times of
repression. To this day, Jazz remains an important
and symbolic musical genre.
Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, and Ella Fitzgerald are
considered jazz music pioneers.
3. Electronic Dance Music
Typically referred to as EDM, this type of music is
created by DJs who mix a range of beats and tones
to create unique music. Electronic Dance Music is
popular in dance clubs, especially in the form of live
DJs, who will mix hundreds of different tracks in
one session.
Artists such as The Chemical Brothers, Fat Boy
Slim, and Underworld made dance music a chart
sensation during the 1990s.
4. Dubstep
Dubstep is an electronic dance music subgenre that
originated in the late 1990s’ in South London.
Dubstep can be characterized by syncopated
rhythmic patterns combined with prominent sub-
bass frequencies.
