- MUSIC
We come into contact with music throughout our lives. Music plays a significant role for us. We hear it everywhere: in streets, in shops, in cafés and at home. Music follows us from childhood and we can’t live without it. When we are little, we listen to lullabies sung by our mothers or grandmothers and soon we try to sing some songs ourselves. We listen to music when we are happy or sad, we dance to it and we learn to play music too. Music is not just a combination of sounds, it is a real art. There are a lot of different genres of music that people enjoy: classical music, jazz, popular music or pop music, rock and club music. Music reflects our life, our emotions and feelings.
At any time of the day we can listen to music of all genres on the radio. Young people buy CDs by their favourite singers and composers or download the music they like from the Internet. They often watch music channels on TV. One of the most popular channels is MTV. You can also see many people wearing earphones in the streets or in the underground and listening to music using MP3-players or mobile phones.
Big and small cities and towns provide opportunities for people of all ages to enjoy music at concert halls, clubs or at music festivals. Young people usually go to clubs to listen to their favourite groups or dance to club music: trance, techno or house.
Those who have a musical talent can develop it by learning to play a musical instrument. Many children start playing the piano or wind instruments, such as the flute or the saxophone. Others like string instruments, for example, the violin. However, under the influence of pop music broadcast by the radio and TV tastes may change. Teenagers often start to play the guitar, the drums or the keyboard and many of them dream of making a group and giving concerts to a large audience. At
the age of 16 or 17 many young people also take dancing lessons and develop a liking for dance music. As for me, I prefer European pop music. I have no favourite musical genre, I can listen to various kinds of music and the choice depends on my mood. My sister loves rock music. Her favourite rock groups are 30 Seconds to Mars and Muse. My father likes jazz. His favourite jazz singer and musician is Louis Armstrong. Sometimes he listens to classical music too. As for my mother, she is fond of Paul McCartney. She can listen to his songs all day. She says that he is a really great singer and his voice makes her forget everyday problems. No one knows when music appeared first, but it is clear that if there was no music, our life would be extremely boring and sad.
