ABSTRACT
Musical genres are categorized by human. It depends on human hearing. There are common characteristics shared by categories. These characteristics are related to instrumentation, rhythmic structure, and harmonic content of the music. Currently many music is still classified by manually. Automated system for musical genre classification can assist or replace manual work for classifying musical genre. In this paper, the automatic classification of audio signals into hierarchy of musical genres is explored. Three feature sets for representing timbral texture, rhythmic content and pitch content are proposed. Also propose classification through two-times KNN classification method and show enhancement of accuracy. Using two-time KNN classification method increases accuracy about 5% than one-time --++++KNN classification which two-time KNN classification accuracy is 77.9% and one-time KNN classification accuracy is 73.3%.

Index Terms – Music classification, feature extraction, wavelets, KNN classification

I. Introduction
Musical genres are categorized by human. It depends on human hearing. There are common characteristics shared by categories. These characteristics are related to instrumentation, rhythmic structure, and harmonic content of the music. Genre classification is magnified when music industry moved from CD

    Often perceived as subjective, Music is said to be assessed based on one’s tastes. However, what is overlooked most of the time is that everything in this life can be methodically evaluated based on a set of experiences or criteria that “grades” the value something contains. Take Bloom’s Taxonomy for instance. It managed to organize what specific groups of people consider to be the most efficient way to learn into a hierarchical model. Similarly, categorizing music can also assist placing some musical pieces above others. People who are willing to explore the diverse world of music should consider listening to Regional at Best, by Twenty One Pilots, due to its powerful message and unique artistic style.…
