Folk music is very different from classical music as well. To begin with, it is not taught in the same way as classical music is taught. Classical music usually requires a student devoting their entire life perfecting the forms of this music. Folk music is more like a daily ritual without affecting the daily lives of people. People learn it since their childhood and grow up on these songs. One can always carry on with their daily life routine while listening to or singing folk music. Most of the songs are sung in small village functions like weddings, births, etc.
Folk music also uses a number of instruments. The refined versions of these instruments are used for classical music. For instance the "Tabla", which is a very important instrument of classical music, is used in a crude form like daf, dholak or nal. The cruder versions of Sitar or Sarod are used in folk music, which are known as ektara, dotar, saringda, rabab and santur. Not all regions use the same instrument. In fact, the same instrument may not even be called by the same name every where. Most of these instruments are made of easily available material like bamboo, clay pots, empty coconut shells, etc. Most of the folk music in India is dance oriented and many popular forms of dance like Dandiya, Lavani, Garba, etc. are danced along the tunes of popular folk music. They are very enjoyable, as most of them very catchy tunes.

SOME VISAYAN FOLK SONGS
- "Matud Nila" popularized by Pilita Corrales
- "Lubi-lubi"
- "Dandansoy"
- "Ay ay Kalisod"
- "Pobreng Alindahaw"
- "Rosas Pandan"
- "Luha Sa Kalipay"
- Sa Kabukiran (Manuel Velez) (Popularised by Sylvia La Torre in Tagalog)
- Ako'y Kampopot (Manuel Velez) (Also popularized by Sylvia La Torre in Tagalog)
The last two songs were popularised in Tagalog but were originally Visayan. Manuel Velez (from Cebu) composed the songs and wrote the original CEBUANO lyrics. Please research it yourself. Also, "Ang Pasko Ay Sumapit" is another one of those Visayan songs that is never properly attributed to the Visayans, even though it is a Visayan carol. It was written by two Cebuanos Vicente Rubi and Mariano Vestil. Levi Celerio later penned a Tagalog version and it was popularised by Ruben Tagalog (who is actually an Ilonggo Visayan, despite his name) in Tagalog in the early 50s.
Manuel Velez' biography is on the Philippine music registry's website. It's not clear why these two songs are always acredited to the Tagalogs. The Bayanihan Philippine Dance Company sang "Sa Kabukiran" in Cebuano on their album "Bayanihan Sings!":
