This music is often taught and learned person-to-person, by listening and playing together. The focus has often been on playing for dancers, or on playing together as a social event, rather than performing.Traditional music can include anything from Celtic music to klezmer, Cajun, Brazilian chorro, English country dance music, tango, Québécois, blues and a hundred other styles.You don't have to play "trad" to benefit from the ideas in this book. The concepts can be used by classical and jazz musicians and even visual artists to enhance their creativity and joy.
