1. What musical genres do you know? 2. How can you describe them? 3. What musical instruments are specific for each genre? 4. Can you name the performers who represent each of the genres? 5. What is your favourite genre? Why?

Here are some common musical genres and their descriptions:

• Pop – catchy melodies, simple song structures, often about love or everyday life. Typical instruments: synthesizers, drum machines, electric guitar, bass. Performers: Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran.
• Rock – strong beat, electric guitars, often rebellious lyrics. Instruments: electric guitar, bass guitar, drums, vocals. Performers: Queen, Foo Fighters.
• Jazz – improvisation, swing rhythm, complex harmonies. Instruments: saxophone, trumpet, piano, double bass, drums. Performers: Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis.
• Classical – orchestral music, structured forms like symphony, sonata. Instruments: violin, piano, cello, flute, full orchestra. Performers: Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (composers); performers like Yo-Yo Ma.
• Hip-hop – rhythmic spoken lyrics (rap), beats, sampling. Instruments: drum machines, turntables, synthesizers. Performers: Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj.
• Electronic (EDM) – created with electronic devices, heavy bass, synthesizers, often instrumental or with vocal samples. Instruments: synthesizers, drum machines, computers. Performers: Calvin Harris, Marshmello.

My favourite genre is rock because it combines powerful energy with meaningful lyrics, and the sound of electric guitar always gives me a boost of confidence.
