=== Ashkenazic ===
The most prevalent form of Ashkenazic music is [[Klezmer]], which is typically sung in [[Yiddish]]. Klezmer often refers to the Jewish instrumentalist, specifically focusing on Ashkenazic melodies and music; this genre was common among European Jewish traveling musicians.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Strom |first=Yale |title=Book of Klezmer : The History, the Music, the Folklore |publisher=Chicago Review Press |year=2002 |pages=1}}</ref><ref name=":6"/> Klezmer music was and continues to be used primarily at Jewish social gatherings. Weddings, however, are the main venue for this genre.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Beregovski |first=Moshe |title=Old Jewish Folk Music: The Collections and Writings of Moshe Beregovski |publisher=University of Pennsylvania Press |year=1982 |pages=531}}</ref> Klezmer fundamentally dates back to the nineteenth century; there are a multitude of Klezmer musicians whose ages range from 50 to 80, but there is evidence that dates it back to centuries prior.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Beregovski |first=Moshe |title=Old Jewish Folk Music: The Collections and Writings of Moshe Beregovski |publisher=University of Pennsylvania Press |year=1982 |isbn= |pages=531–532}}</ref> Klezmer music features a myriad of various instruments that can be seen in many modern forms of music today, such as violin, drums and [[cymbal]]s, [[accordion]], cello, clarinet, and saxophone.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Klezmer Music |url=https://www.bpl.org/blogs/post/klezmer-music/ |access-date=2022-05-20 |website=www.bpl.org |date=31 October 2019 |language=en-US |archive-date=2022-05-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220519152912/https://www.bpl.org/blogs/post/klezmer-music/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
