Jazz Styles. Different rhythms than pop, musicians often make up parts on the go. Often do variations on a popular melody or theme. Mostly instrumental, but jazz singing is getting more popular.

Jazz Scat Singing. A jazz style, where the vocalist, sometimes a singer, sometimes a horn player, makes up melodies, riffs, with his voice, using vocal sounds instead of words. Sometimes horns and other instruments are imitated vocally also.

Big Band. Most people think of Glen Miller, Benny Goodman, and other 30's and 40's band leaders who played and danced America out of the depression and through WW2. Trumpets, Trombones, Saxes, Clarinet.

Jazz Combo. This is your small jazz club or party combo. Usually a trio or quartet.

Jazz Guitar Styles. Solo or with Combo. One of my favorites, both for listening, playing, and composing.

Jazz Violin. Along with jazz singing, and jazz guitar, another way to have singing, swinging strings.

Country and Western Styles. C and W has come a long way from the cowboy music, hillbilly music, and the train songs of the 1920's and 1930's. I'll let you decide if that's good or bad. By now, country music has crossed over and blended with all other styles, country rock, country blues, new country, traditional country, rockabilly, country folk, ete, making the Nashville sound the most popular form of nonclassical music in the world. How-dee.

Cowboy Songs. Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, cattle drive songs, gunfighter ballads, western movie music, still popular.

Western Swing. Hoedowns, square dances, barn dances, kept the feet a tapping, and the partners swinging.

Country Ballad. Often adds strings to or in place of, guitars, bass, drums, and country keyboards.

Traditional Country. Truck driving songs, train songs, god songs, family songs, dog songs, still going strong.

Blues Styles. Originally very happy music to uplift one while working and to rise above problems. Drug and alcohol downer blues, especially the negative rock blues, became the opposite of the original happy music. We compose only happy and healing blues here at Songs Just For You. So if you need a blues song that's happy and healing, let us know.

Chicago Blues, Memphis Blues, are two of the most popular. Also Country Blues. I had a great time in college, playing in a Chicago Blues band. I was the only paleface guy. Good blues, uses lots of bends, slides, other musical effects to express emotion. Positive blues can be very uplifting. Top Style List Ex Order a Song

Rock Styles. Rock music, over the decades, like country music has expanded and blended with many other music styles. At Songs Just For You, we don't compose any of the hardest, negative rock like death metal. Its too harmful to the physical body, mind, and emotions. We also don't do any pro drug rock. Other than that, well I grew up playing in bands and my fingers haven't fallen off yet. So let us know what your rock and roll needs are.

50's Rock and Roll. Quite tame, by today's anything goes with warning stickers on the albums.

British Rock and Roll. All the rage in the 60's, when the Beatles and other guitar groups ruled.

Soft Rock. Even rockers can do ballads for those romantic slow dances.

Doo-Wop. Street singer rock and roll. The original rap and still the best. Sweet and positive harmonies.

Bluegrass Styles. Banjos, fiddles, mts, harmonica's, this blend of 19th century blues, folk, and western music started to really come into its own after WW1 and WW2. Like the banjo itself, bluegrass today is an american blend of a little of that sound, and a little of this sound. Like many styles of music, you either like it or you don't. Can be very happy and fun.

Traditional Bluegrass. Is 100% acoustic, banjo, fiddle, harmonica, guitar, and often a twangy singer.

Modern Bluegrass. Whatever anyone can get away with adding. Banjo plus you name it.

Folk Styles. Get those fingers picking away. The original unplugged music, still popular the world over. All you need is a guitar or two, and a voice or voices ready to sing. One of my favorite folk styles is ...........

Peter, Paul, and Mary Folk Guitar Style. Thousands of guitarists bought a capo, to learn to capo up a few frets to play harmony and counter melodies. If the original guitar was playing in C, one could capo up 5 frets and then play in G.

Dulcimer Style. A dulcimer replaces one or both guitars. For that from the hills twang.

Guitar, Harmonica Style. Think of Bob Dylan playing and singing Blowin in the Wind and wearin a harmonica brace.

Folk Banjo. Different types of folk banjo playing styles, clawhammer, mt, dixie, fingerpicking, can give many fine sounds.

Classical Styles. Each classical composer had their own style, even those of the 20th century. Mostly instrumental, outside of opera, and art songs. If you have a favorite classical music composer, we can imitate that composers style, the type of chord changes, rhythms, and melodies they used. If you have a favorite classical music piece, we would be happy to write words to go with that piece. Many famous show and movie tunes, have their main themes lifted right out of a classical piece.

Beethoven Style. The most popular of the classical music composers. Beethoven loved beautiful chords and melodies. He was a very romantic composer, expressing love in music and sound.

Bach Style. Bach used a lot of moving lines, melodies, harmonies, and counter melodies that go up and down and around. Bachs music still sounds good, even if played by today's synthesizers. Many say Bach is good for the brain.

Classical Violin Style. Like violin music, so do I. My brother plays the violin for a living, so I grew up with violin music.

New Age. What started out as spacing out music for meditation, has now a wide variety of styles and sounds. Many new age artists claim to compose healing music. Hence some call any kind of healing music, new age music. Also sometimes called contemporary instrumental, because most new age music doesn't have words or vocals. Hearts of Space and Currents are two popular new age music radio shows. Often new age music uses synthesizers, as well as acoustic music.

Soundscapes. What I use to refer to the original new age sound. Lots of long, slow chords and relaxing melodies. Lowers the heartbeat and can have a soothing anti stress effect if done well. Dreamy, trancy, for sleeping, some say. Kick back.

Naturescapes. Combine new age music with nature sounds. Animals, birds, wind, water, rain, ocean, ete. Fun to compose. Want us to feature the sounds of your pet or favorite place in some music, let us know.

New Age Choirs. Groups like the Harmonic Choir, Tibetan Monks, and other chant choirs, plus choirs doing new age pieces. Or Enya, thanks to multitracking many vocal layers on top of each other is a choir by herself. Want to be a choir?

New Age With a Beat. Not all healers write dreamy, spacey, pad music. This can be anything, not too hard or screaming.

Healing Music. Need some kind of healing, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual? Music and sound uplifts and heals.
