While some songs are challenging to sing, most are easy to sing by amateurs and common folk. Easy step-wise motion melodies with simple chords are easiest to play. Traditional songs, like folk music is often played in simple keys so that folk instruments such as the celtic harp, accordion and banjo can participate by not having to stray beyond two or three sharps or flats. Some folk instruments can only transpose in up to two or three sharps or flats. And other folk instruments can only play simple pentatonic type scales. Traditional songs and world music therefore will cater to the traditional instruments from the geographic region they are from.
