Mood Music by Sheffield Music Hub
Music - explore different styles and pieces you didn't know existed!
In general, we listen to the music we grow up with. Someone who grew up with mum blasting out musical soundtracks in the car will become used to that and is more likely to keep listening to it as they grow. Now is the time to explore your own musical style and make your own choice about what you like to listen to!
What is a genre?
A genre is a style of music. There are countless genres out there and more emerge throughout the years.
Some examples are: Pop, rock, jazz, folk, classical, blues, opera, hip-hop
Your Challenge!
Choose some pieces you listen to all the time to begin with. Think about how they make you feel.
Some examples might be:
Excited Song - Shut up and dance with me (Walk the Moon)
Loved Song - Songbird (Fleetwood Mac)
Relaxing Song - Come Away With Me (Norah Jones)
Once you have chosen songs you already know to fit your mood, have a search for songs you don't know. Spend 30 minutes searching on Youtube, Spotify, through old CD's or even records to find something new.
If you have access to Spotify or YouTube you can search specifically for a genre of music!
Let us know about the new pieces and new genres you have discovered at #sheffmusichub on Facebook or Twitter.
