When we look at how music works, it's really interesting to see how different types of music use loudness and softness in their own ways. Here’s what I’ve noticed from my experiences:

1. Classical Music:

   • In classical music, loudness and softness are super important. You’ll often hear words like forte (loud) and piano (soft) used a lot. The music has parts where it gradually gets louder, called crescendo, which can make us feel strong emotions or build up tension.

2. Rock Music:

   • Rock music usually has a simpler approach to loudness. You might hear really loud parts in the choruses after softer verses. This change is important because it builds up excitement!

3. Jazz:

   • In jazz, musicians like to mix loud and soft sounds a lot. They might play quietly when someone is taking a solo, then suddenly get really loud when the whole group joins in. This keeps the audience interested and surprised.

4. Pop Music:

   • Pop music often uses loudness and softness to create catchy parts that stick in your head. A crescendo can lead into a big and powerful chorus, which makes the song really fun to listen to.

Overall, figuring out how loud and soft sounds work helps us enjoy the different feelings and energy each music style brings. Each genre shows off its own personality and style through these changes!
