Instructions: Read about Music.

I like music!

Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound and silence, which exist in time. The common elements of music are pitch (which govern melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture (which are sometimes termed the “color” of a musical sound). Different styles or types of music may emphasize some of these elements. Music is performed with a vast range of instruments and with vocal techniques ranging from singing to rapping, and there are solely instrumental pieces, solely vocal pieces (such as songs without instrumental accompaniment) and pieces that combine singing and instruments.

Getting started: Music in people’s life

Instructions: Read the text to do the activity suggested.

In many cultures, music is an important part of people’s way of life, as it plays a key role in religious rituals, rite of passage ceremonies (e.g., graduation and marriage), social activities (e.g., dancing) and cultural activities ranging from amateur karaoke singing to playing in an amateur funk band or singing in a community choir. People may make music as a hobby, for example, a teen who plays cello in a youth orchestra, or by working as a professional musician or singer. The music industry includes the individuals who create new songs and musical pieces, such as song writers and composers; individuals who perform music, which include orchestra, jazz band and rock band musicians, singers and conductors; individuals who record music (music producers and sound engineers) and organize concert tours; and those who sell recordings and sheet music to customers.

Evaluation.

Instructions: Choose the right options in the following text.

Some composers like music/likes music to be heard through several media; the most traditional way is to hear it live, in the presence of the musicians (or as one of the musicians), in an outdoor or indoor space such as an amphitheatre, concert hall,cabaret room or theatre. Since the 20th century, many people like live music/likes live music over the radio, television or the Internet, or recorded and listened to on a CD player or Mp3 player. My son like musical styles /likes musical styles focused on producing a sound for a performance, while his best friend like music/likes music produced in a recording that mixes together sounds that were never played "live." Recording, even of essentially live styles such as rock, often uses the ability to edit and splice to produce recordings that may be considered "better" than the actual performance.
