Mention the 1930s and the first thing that comes to mind is naturally "The Great Depression", but the people's music was important, too. In the 1930s many people were without jobs, and money and food were scarce. People looked to music for inspiration. The music of the 1930s was jazzy, and happy, giving people inspiration, and something to cheer them up. The popular kind of music was jazz. The main instruments were piano, clarinet, saxophone, and trumpet. The musicians used improvisation to make their music happy and exciting.
