To play music, tell Siri to play the song you want, or the artist you want, or the sound track you want. To pause the music, slice two fingers down the screen, but not far at all.
Since you have Apple Music on your phone, here are some music items to try out, just say the following to Siri :
Play genre radio, Siri will list the genres it has, if you don't hear what you want in the first list it gives, say more when Siri asks you which one you want. Then when you hear a genre you want, just say that genre's name.
More music to ask Siri to play: Play music from the seventies.
play music from the sixties.
Play the sound track from the movie Fame.
Play the west Side Story sound track.
Play Paul Simon music.
Play Billy Joel.
Play Earth, Wind and Fire.
Play Micheal Jackson.

6. To find some Mindfulness guided meditations on my website, just say one word to Siri, that word is Mindfulness. It will then take you to the part of my website about Mindfulness. You have to flick one finger left to right to get to the links with the recordings you want. Listen for the ones with Bonnie Butler, she is great, I do mean great. When you get to hers, tap one finger twice fast. It will take a moment but will load and start to play for you. To pause it, do the same thing you do in music, tap twice with two fingers.
