Welcome! Today we will learn about genres of music.
A music genre is a group of songs that sound similar. Think of genres like types of pets. Dogs and cats are both pets, but they act and look different. Genres give music different feelings!
Rock music uses strong drums and loud electric guitars. It often has a heavy beat that makes you want to stomp your feet.
Classical music uses soft violins and pianos. It usually has no words and feels smooth and calm like a gentle breeze.
