People played it on piano and was very fast. Some of the songs had　 28 and were easy 29 . Some of the songs were only music but were easy to dance, too. In the 1920s, a style called “crooning” was popular. Men sang it with a very gentle voice. In the 1930s and 1940s, “jazz” became popular. Jazz is often fast and people usually play it with a piano and horns.
