This year's USA theme for the Summer Reading Program is pretty cool! If you have no idea and are living under a..... well a rock, the theme for this year is Libraries Rock! I love this because there is SO MUCH you can do with it! And there's so many different books for everyone, no matter what their style of music OR books. So, with that being said, here's some recs for you all depending on what your favorite music genre is! And of course, use these recs if you're just interested in learning more about them!
Country:
"a form of popular music originating in the rural southern US. It is traditionally a mixture of ballads and dance tunes played characteristically on fiddle, guitar, steel guitar, drums, and keyboard."
Hip-Hop:
"Hip hop music, also called hip-hop or rap music, is a music genre developed in the United States by inner-city African Americans in the 1970s which consists of a stylized rhythmic music that commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech that is chanted."
Rock:
"a form of popular music that evolved from rock and roll and pop music during the mid- and late 1960s. Harsher and often self-consciously more serious than its predecessors, it was initially characterized by musical experimentation and drug-related or anti-Establishment lyrics."
Classical:
"Classical era musicians continued to use many of instruments from the Baroque era, such as the cello, contrabass, recorder, trombone, timpani, fortepiano (the precursor to the modern piano) and organ. While some Baroque instruments fell into disuse (e.g., the theorbo and rackett), many Baroque instruments were changed into the versions that are still in use today."
Pop:
"According to Frith, characteristics of pop music include an aim of appealing to a general audience, rather than to a particular sub-culture or ideology, and an emphasis on craftsmanship rather than formal "artistic" qualities."
