to hear? How will you hear it? What kind of music do you think in the photos is being played?
For reference
1. A choir is a large group of singers. A band is a small group of musicians. They play music and may also sing.
2. In the picture we can see saxophone, drums and a double bass, and other instruments, piano, trumpet, etc. are also common.
3. The woman is a black soul singer. Her music is often quite loud, and people often dance to it. The man is probably a white blues singer who is singing and is also playing a guitar and a harmonica. Blues is often quieter than soul music, and people usually don't dance to it.
