| − | It is often more difficult for many to learn Contemporary songs. Compared to traditional music, the tunes tend to wander more, sometimes fail to resolve, sometimes start partway through a beat, essentially inverting the forebeat and the backbeat, and portions are often repeated. With a traditional hymn, you would usually sing from top to bottom of each verse. With CCM, a portion of a verse, the bridge, or the chorus will often be repeated. The singers must know this fact, or they will tend to get lost. | + | It is often more difficult for many to learn Contemporary songs. Compared to traditional music, the tunes tend to wander more, sometimes fail to resolve, sometimes start on the second or third beat, which in some cases essentially inverts the forebeat and the backbeat, and portions are often repeated. With a traditional hymn, you would usually sing from top to bottom of each verse. With CCM, a portion of a verse, the bridge, or the chorus will often be repeated. The singers must know this fact, or they will tend to get lost. Additionally, contemporary music is often left unresolved, so it tends to keep running through people's minds. While this can help people learn it, it can get very annoying to some, and in rare cases, people even find that before they have hardly even learned a song, they will already be tired of it. |
