In the 1940's, while WWII was going on, music helped people forget about the hardships of the war. Bigband music was a type of jazz that dominated for most of the 40's. Later in the decade bebop emerged as another style of jazz which contrasted greatly with the bigband sound. Bigband is a mix of percussion, brass, and woodwind instruments and is usually an ensemble of around 12 to 25 people. Swing was another syle of music that was famous in the 40's.
Some of the most famous types of music in America in the 1920's were jazz, Broadway musicals, and ragtime.

In conclusion the answer to my question 'How has music changed over time?' is not something you can just answer with one word. While researching I found all this information about how the style of music was so different as the generations passed, but doing this project helped me see not just how music itself has changed but also how music has changed people and society over time. Music is always changing you never know when modern artists are going to bring something back or if the music in general from the past will come back and be enjoyed by people now or even in the future. It's kind of an awesome thing to think about.
