	Music of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The music of the United States can be characterized by the use of syncopation and asymmetrical rhythms, long, irregular melodies, which are said to "reflect the wide open geography of (the American landscape)" and the "sense of personal freedom characteristic of American life".
		Instead, the music of the United States is that of dozens or hundreds of indigenous and immigrant groups, all of which developed largely in regional isolation until the American Civil War, when people from across the country were brought together in army units, trading musical styles and practices.
		Music is an important part of education in the United States, and is a part of most or all school systems in the country.

	Latin music in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was common in dance halls in the 30s and 40s for a Latin orchestra, such as that of Vincent Lopez, to alternate with a big band because dancers insisted on it.
		Latin music was extremely popular with dancers, not only the samba, paso doble, rumba, and mambo, but even the conga.
		Likewise, Tex-Mex and Tejano style featured the conjunto sound, resulting in such important music as "Tequila" by The Champs, "96 Tears" by Question Mark and the Mysterians, Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs, Thee Midniters, and the many combinations led by Doug Sahm, including the Sir Douglas Quintet and the Texas Tornadoes.

	Popular music - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		In this respect, popular music differs from traditional folk music, which was created by ordinary people for their own enjoyment, and from classical music, which was originally created to serve the purposes of the Church or for the entertainment of the nobility.
		As participatory music, "garage bands" are in a sense a resurrection of the old tradition of folk music, which in premodern times was composed and performed by ordinary people and transmitted exclusively by word of mouth.
		The elevation of classical music to a position of special value is closely connected to the concept of a Western canon, and to theories of educational perennialism.

	Articles - The evolution of rap music in the United States
		One of my intentions with my unit is to show that rap music is not a fad, but a musical art form that has been around for over 20 years in the United States.

		Instead, the music of the United States is that of dozens or hundreds of indigenous and immigrant groups, all of which developed largely in regional isolation until the Civil War.
		The music of the United States can be characterized by the use of syncopation, long, irregular melodies (which are said to reflect the wide open geography of the American landscape) and elements of distinctively American jazz, blues and Native American music (Ferris, 10).
		Some commonalities are near universal among Native American traditional music, however, including the lack of harmony and polyphony, the presence of choiral vocals, the use of vocables and the descending melodic figures.

	Popular music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Today, popular music is distributed via mass media such as recordings and radio (as classical music is now also).
		Classical music compositions in the 20th century attempted to strip away the erroneous, the extra details, and as with modern art, remove everything apart from the essence of the image.
		By the 1920s, popular music entered the process with songs that were catchy and entertaining, though often banal in their simplicity, but began to rival classical compositions in their complexity and sophistication.
