I know in rock, the instruments are a lot louder. What are the other differences?
And is Nickelback pop or rock?

I mean in the use of musical theory (armony, improvisation, counterpoint, etc) is there a big difference between classical music and rock(good rock, like king crimson) or jazz?
Also i would like you to recommend me some classical composers and performers as well.
Thanks!

I’ve been in my high school’s jazz band for 2 years now and i want to invest in a good one. Narrow it down to a small shank tenor trombone mouthpiece please.

My jazz midterm is next week and its really hard to memorize the music of early jazz. Im required to named the song or artist of the song playing.
This music is from the 1900s+ so it covers Louis armstrong/Ken Burns/Duke Ellington/Ella/Benny Goodman etc.
If anyone can give me a good strategy as to how i can memorize them, like certain instrument tunes etc, thatd be wonderful. Thanks!

Politically, blues reacts in the same manner as folk in the sense that it tends to represent the economic and social frustrations of the lower-class. In my opinion, blues is more representative of the working-class and destitute in contrast to mostly conformist melodies of jazz. Now that we know the differences in a political sense, I want to know how jazz differs from the blues as according to music theory.
