00:00What's for lunch?
00:02Baloney.
00:03What's wrong with that?
00:04You love baloney.
00:08It's missing the mail
00:10And there's way too much mustard
00:12I wanted a pickle
00:16But all I got was flustered
00:18I got the blues
00:20But baloney and no pickle blues
00:24I got the blues, got the blues
00:28And there's nothing that nobody can do
00:34Wait, you mean this pickle?
00:36Oh yeah, thanks!
00:40Welcome to the blues room
00:42Do you hear that, Chuck?
00:44I sure do! That's the sweet, sad sound of the blues
00:48Mona, let's break down that melancholy sound!
00:50When did blues music begin?
00:52The late 1800s
00:54Where?
00:56In the southern United States
00:58By who?
00:59African Americans
01:00Many of them newly freed slaves
01:02That's right!
01:04These former slaves sang about their troubles
01:06Which is an important feature of blues music
01:08Now Ramona, what instruments can you use to play the blues?
01:12There's lots of them
01:14Guitar, saxophone, piano
01:16And don't forget trumpet, trombone, string bass
01:20Also known as double bass, and drums
01:22You'll get a chance to play with some of those instruments later
01:24Now, other than singing about sad stuff, how do I know I'm playing the blues?
01:30Well, blues has a really unique sound, because of the way the chords move from one to the next, making the song sound sad
01:38A chord is two or more notes played at the same time to create harmony
01:42Hey Mona, lay a chord on us!
01:44Okay, so here's a chord
01:46And here are a few chords played together to sound sad
01:50To sound sad
01:54Now it's happy?
01:56Now it's sad
02:00And blues music usually sounds sad
02:02Okay, here's the deal
02:04Huge blues fest at the mall coming up
02:06I want that gig
02:08I want it!
02:10It's the fattest blues band this town has ever seen

03:06Oh!
03:08Okay, so, um, listen
03:10I have to talk to you about band practice on Thursday
03:13Okay!
03:14Ooh, ooh!
03:15How about I conduct you telling me?
03:17Like how?
03:18To start talking
03:19Alright
03:20So, you know how we have band practice on Thursday
03:25But I can't, no I can't, no I really really can't

03:49Well, hello there, and good day!
03:52Welcome to the classical room!
03:54Yow!
03:55Do you hear that, Chuck?
03:57That is the magnificent sound of classical music!
04:00Ramona, if you'd do us the honours, when did classical music begin?
04:04Around the 11th century
04:06Where did it begin?
04:07In Europe
04:08By whom?
04:09Well, Europeans
04:11That makes sense
04:12Now, Ramona, how do you know if you're listening to classical music?
04:16Well, usually it's played by an orchestra, which is an ensemble of instruments containing string, woodwind, brass, and percussion sections
04:24And who creates classical music?
04:26The composer!
04:27The composer writes music for each instrument that sounds good when played all together!
04:32Chuck, can you name some famous composers?
04:35Bach, Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms, and Tchaikovsky!
04:41Those guys are awesome!
04:43Yeah!
04:44And what instruments do you need to create beautiful classical music?
04:48There are lots of them!
04:50There are the string instruments, such as violin, cello, and harp
04:54And woodwind instruments, such as the flute, clarinet, and bassoon
04:59And don't forget the brass instruments, such as trumpet, trombone, tuba, and horns
05:04Or the percussion, timpani, bass drum, and cymbals, to name a few
05:08You'll get a chance to play with some of those instruments later
05:10Yeah!
05:11And there is classical singing, too!
05:13Opera singers take words that would normally be spoken
05:16And sing them in a theatrical way!

06:26Country music started when?
06:28The 1800s
06:30Where?
06:31In the southern United States
06:32By who?
06:33European immigrants and ex-slaves of West African descent
06:36That's right!
06:37These southern settlers started mixing the folk music they brought with them from home
06:41With the new experiences they were having in America
06:43And they created...
06:45Country music!
06:46Yee-haw!
06:47And what instruments did they use to get that country sound?
06:51All kinds!
06:52Fiddle, dulcimer, mandolin, guitar, banjo...
06:56And percussion!

06:59You'll get a chance to play with some of those instruments later
07:02That's right!
07:03Now Ramona, how do I know that I am listening to some sweet country music?

08:09Why not?
08:12Because...
08:14My parents said, Chuck, your room is dirty.
08:17To clean this mess will take until you're 30.
08:19You got mountains of junk all over the floor.
08:22Piled up so hard we can't open the door.

08:44You hear that, Chuck?
08:46Those are the hard-hitting beats of some hot hip-hop music.
08:49Yo!
08:50Hey, Mona, break it down.
08:52Hip-hop started when?
08:54The 1970s.
08:56Where?
08:56The Bronx in New York City.
08:58By who?
08:59Block party DJs.
09:01Yeah, a DJ, short for disc jockey, is a person who plays songs that people like to dance to at parties.
09:08That's right.
09:09In the 70s, inner-city block parties became huge in the African-American and Latino communities.
09:15And the DJs at those outdoor parties were playing all the popular funk and soul music of the time.
09:20To get the crowd really fired up, they started focusing on the bass sounds and beats of their songs.
09:27Yeah, the DJs play records.
09:29That's an older way to play music.
09:31On a record player called a turntable.
09:33And played the percussive parts over and over to make a good beat.
09:37That's called making a loop, like this.
09:39Here's a percussive beat.
09:41Now, here it is.
09:57Alright!
09:58Now, over those beat loops, they started to add all kinds of stuff, like scratching, beat mixing, and of course, wrapping!
10:09Wrapping is like poetry.
10:11That's your beat.
10:12I think we need a little demo, Mona.
10:14Come on!
10:15Bust a rhyme!
10:18We're standing here rapping in Chuck's Garage, sending rhymes at you people in a quick garage.

10:30Nice!
10:32Yeah!
10:33Now, Ramona, what instruments do you need to get that hip-hop sound?
10:37Turntable.

18:07They also had access to technology that was brand new at the time.
18:10Stuff like electric guitars, amplifiers, and microphones.

18:41That's right!
18:42Now, Ramona, what was that early rock and roll sound?
18:45Well, musicians took a boogie-woogie rhythm, like this, and emphasized the backbeat, like this.
