There are literally thousands of braches of music. Music goes back to ancient prehistoric times, stemming mainly from African drumming. Over time, in western music, this refined down to the plainchant modal melodies which eventually became the Baroque period (J.S. Bach, Handel, Vivaldi).

The Baroque period evolved into the Classical period (Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn) where music saw a fundamental change in style. The classical period was followed by the Romanticperiod which stemmed into a number of new styles including Nationalism and Chromaticism. It was around here that blues began to take it's pressent form that would eventually turn into Jazz.

The twentieth century saw an explosion of new branches of music: Expressionism, Impressionism, Polytonality, Atonality, Pointillism, Serialism, Indetimanism, Neoclassicism, Microtonality.

Jazz then developed into popular music which lead to the creation of Disco Music, Rock, Metal, Hip Hop etc.

The tree of musical styles goes back along way and has fabricated many styles of music. Enough to fill many books!
