Chamber music is music with an intimate character in which there is one player to a part, each of which is equal in importance to the others. Chamber music is usually written for two to ten players without a conductor. Modern variations of chamber music include classical, jazz, world music, folk music, blues, bluegrass, FADO and a myriad of other types of national and international music. The allure of chamber music is the social pleasure of a small group of people coming together to listen to and perform music.

Chamber music communicates emotions and feelings in a way similar to the give and take in a conversation. The melody may bounce from one instrument to another or be repeated in a variation or be countered by a completely different melody. Both chamber music and communication reflect the full complement of human interaction – repetition, imitation, agreement, disagreement, point, counterpoint, etc. As listeners, chamber music can influence our feelings and touch us much in the same way as listening to a conversation can help us to understand ideas and form opinions.
