paragraph_text: Tune
  
  In folk music, a tune is a short instrumental piece, a melody, often with repeating sections, and usually played a number of times. A collection of tunes with structural similarities is known as a tune-family. America's Musical Landscape says "the most common form for tunes in folk music is AABB, also known as binary form."
  
  In some traditions, tunes may be strung together in medleys or " sets."
