How has African music influenced modern music today?
The single most area in which African music influenced modern music is with the use of drums.Rock'n'Roll rythmns as we know them today have been used for centuries in African tribal dance use.If you were able to travel back in time 200 years you would most probably hear all the rock rythmns that we know today. The coming of slaves to America and before that England brought the African rythmns to the western countries.Largely ignored in the early years because of segregation and the white population regarding African influenced music as "jungle music" or "Devil Music". It slowly became accepted in the early part of the 20th century which brought about the birth of Jazz and Blues in America.
4 What are the two genres that combined to make jazz music?
Jazz came from American Folk Music, Romantic Classical Music, and African Tribal Music basically. The syncopation and rythmns from African Tribal Music was adopted by romantic classical composers, and that all merged into the blues, which progressed to become jazz with a influence of the instruments and solos we see in American Folk music.
How do you read drum notes?
Drum notes are the same as other instruments except for the fact that you don't usually have any actual notes like C or E#. Just get instructions on how to read rythmns. Whole Note Shaped like a hollow oval with no stick. Half Note Lasts half as long as a whole note, and is shaped like hollow oval with a stick. Quarter Note Lasts half as long as a half note, and shaped like filled oval with a stick. Eighth Note Lasts half as long as a quarter note, and shaped like filled oval with a stick and a tail. Sixteenth Note Lasts half as long as an eighth note, and has two tails. Further halving of note lengths, to indicate 32nd and 64th notes etc., is written by adding more tails. Eighth Note This is another way to write adjacent eighth notes by connecting the tails. Similarly 16th notes will have two horizontal, 32nd notes will have three lines, etc. Sixteenth Note Connected 16th notes. Eighth Triplet Notes These notes occupy the same time frame as two eighth notes, and are written similarly, but there are three of them with the numeral 3 writen above. Similarly, there are quarter triplets, 16th triplets, 32nd triplets, etc. Each dot-and-stick or x-and-stick represents a note (sound). Music notation for other instruments, such as the piano, indicates the pitch of the note by the position of the dot on the five horizontal lines, called a staff. The higher the dot, the higher the pitch. In drum notation, the note's position on the staff indicates a particular drum or a cymbal. Cymbal notes are often written with X's instead of dots, but not always so. There is no universally accepted way of positioning specific drums or cymbals, but it is generally accepted that the bass drum is written at the bottom, the snare somewhere in the middle, and the hi-hat and cymbals up top. Sometimes, a piece of drum notation will be accompanied by a reading key that percicely indicatas the positioning of the various percussion sounds on the staff. In common drum set music, as in the figure above, it is generally understood that the notes from top to bottom are hi-hat, snare, bass. The timing of each sound depends on the progression of the notes from left to right. It's almost as if there is an imaginary cursor going steadily from left to right on the staff and hitting each sound in turn. There is a little bit more to that, but in order to understand how to tell the timing of each note percicely I'll indroduce the concept of time signatures first. The 4/4 symbol on the left is called a time signature. The time signature indicates how much time and how many beats are is in a measure. A measure is a slice of time in which the fundamental rhythm of the music repeats, although the notes are not generally the same. In music and drum notation each measure is separated by a vertical line. You can see that the first figure has two measures. 4/4 indicates that there are four quarter notes in a measure. The quarter is relative to a time unit called a whole note. This unit is not an absolute length of time (such as 10 seconds) but rather relative to how fast the song is played. Mathematically saying that there are four quarters in a measure is the same as saying there is one whole note in a measure, but musically it's different. For example, in the first figure above you can see that the bass and snare form a four note beat in a measure, and therefore it is more convenient to think of each measure as having four quarter notes and not one whole note. The time signature indicates a conceptual, fundamental beat in the music and the actual notes won't usually repeat exactly. The 4/4 time signature is the most common in popular music, but other time signatures are certainly used, such as 3/4, 8/8, 6/8, and 5/4. The time signature indicates how much "time" fills a measure, and that time is filled by notes. The shape of a note indicates how long it lasts. In percussion there's typically no ability to sustain a sound, therefore, drum notes of a specific length actually mean hitting the drum (or cymbal, etc.) at the beginning, and doing nothing for the rest of the notes' duration

Can you help me make a slogan with the name Starr in it?
Starr, shining brighter than the sun. Starr - for the best rythmns around. (Ringo Starr= Beatles drummer) Starr - the pulse of a great group.

What is Ordinary Time in the liturgical year?
Ordinary time is the time on the church (liturgical) calendar that does not encompass the other seasons of the church year such as Advent and Lent. It is a time to focus on God's movement and rythmns in the ordinary seasons of our life.The Catholic liturgical year runs concurrently with the civil year. ("Liturgical year" means the annual cycles of feast and observances.) Actually, there are three cycles in the Catholic church. There is the three year cycle for Sunday Mass readings, the two year cycle for the weekday Mass readings, and the annual cycle of liturgical seasons and feast days.The liturgical seasons are Advent (the weeks leading up to Christmas), Christmastide (which continues through Epiphany), Lent (the weeks of preparation for Easter), the Easter season or Paschaltide (the weeks from Easter to Pentecost). These times are marked by special prayers and observances.The rest of the year is called Ordinary Time.These are the weeks from after Epiphany until Ash Wednesday (which begins Lent) and from after Pentecost until Advent. There are still feastdays and holidays during this time, but it is not considered a particular liturgical season.Ordinary Time refers to the time in the liturgical calendar when the Church is not in one of the special seasons of the year, such as Advent, Christmas, Lent or Easter.
