1. Classical
Classical music is one of the first types that come to mind when talking about instrumental music. It is often referred to as the formal side of western music, and a large part of classical music relies exclusively on instruments and doesn’t include vocals.
Classical music has many forms that are typically instrumental. Forms such as concerto, sonata, and symphony, typically do not involve vocals.
Classical music uses many different instruments from all the branches of the musical instrument family tree, such as brass, wind, percussion, and string instruments. The main instruments used in classical music are piano, violin, and cello.
There are many famous names in classical instrumental music like Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and so on.
2. Jazz
Jazz is one of the genres that does not typically rely on vocals and focuses on instruments. Instrumental jazz is the largest part of jazz music. The emphasis is always on the instruments, and the flow is mainly improvised.
Instrumental jazz requires the musicians to be highly skillful with their instruments as the music features many tempo changes, beat, harmony, texture, and progressions. As improvisation is a big part of jazz, jazz musicians must be very advanced with their general musical knowledge and their mastery of instruments.
There are many different subgenres in jazz music, both instrumental and with vocals. But the common ground is that all have unique rhythms, harmonic refinement, and improvisation.
Jazz music is mainly played with four instruments: bass, drums, guitar, and keyboard. Instruments like saxophones and trumpets are also very common.
