T. So, what emotions arise in your soul when you are listening to music?

Sts. They are different (energetic, frightened, resolved, cheerful, anxious, excited, joyful, depressed, lonely, peaceful, mad, astonished, furious) and depend on type of music, on its mood, its performance and many other factors.

T. I agree with you. Do all people perceive the same music in the same way? Does the perception depend on the personality? His or her age, education, profession? Let’s try to guess whom of the following characters these words belong.

You are going to read a text about musical preferences, skim it and match the paragraphs A-E with persons 1-6; one person is extra.

 

 

1. Ashley, 38, housewife 2. Tony, 49, composer

 

 

3. Lucy, 13, teenager 4. Bobby, 8, schoolboy

 

5. Nathan, 21, student of Technical University 6. Lionel, 42, Professor of Art

 

 

 

Music, like the other fine arts, is what feeds the soul and touches the body, moving it.  Anyone who has grown up with a musically talented parent knows the tremendous part that music plays in one's memory.  My mom, a famous violinist in our city, was my first teacher of music. Due to her efforts I learnt not only to play both the violin and the piano, but to understand the laws of harmony and beauty, which helped me in my profession. Colours of paints used in painting are like the sounds of music conveying the main idea of any piece of art.

I believe, that without tender songs sung to a baby in the very childhood, he (or she) can’t be grown properly, children can’t develop kindness and generosity in their hearts without a soft lullaby. I can't imagine a more powerful tool for growth and development in children.  As a parent, I think music is an essential element in a child's life…. Music is very important in my life as well, because it helps me feel relaxed. I am a person who is often stressed and busy with multiplied things about household. Music helps me relieve the stress and relaxes me. When I listen to music, I tend to not worry about other things on my mind. That's why music is important to me.

Music is not as important in my life as in the lives of many people in my family. For example, my big brother and his wife are so keen on music, that they spend a lot of time to play in a marching band. My relationship with music is much more casual. I just listen to various kinds of popular music when I'm studying. Sometimes I listen to classical music and it helps me keep down my stress and anxiety. It makes me feel thankful for the opportunity in life to be able to study. I occasionally listened to "classical" stuff like "New World" by Dvorzhak. But I do not really understand it. I am just a casual listener who enjoys music but does not really understand it at any kind of a deep level.

 

What would life be like without music?  Terribly cold and silent, indeed. Boring and empty! Music allows me to become a different person and see things from their point of view, a heartbroken lover, a determined person, an angry revengeful person, etc…I am mad about heavy metal. For those of you who think that heavy metal consists of the singer screaming as loud as they can, the guitarist playing the guitar as fast as they can, and the drummer banging on the drums as loud as they can, just try to think: would it REALLY be that popular if it was just as simple as that? Try listening to any heavy metal song. You'll be pleasantly surprised, I promise you. The lyrics have a much deeper meaning than almost any other genre of music!

 

Music is a source of energy and gayety! Imagine an exciting action scene in a film with explosions and fighting and without any sound of music in the background! Sounds silly. Dancing without music? Not that great for me. Birthday parties, computer games without music? Not at all. I study while listening to music because it helps me make studying a little more enjoyable. By having that small extra enjoyment I am able to study longer. And of course I adore humming melodies from my favourite cartoons!

 

Keys: 1 - B; 3 – D; 4 – E; 5 – C; 6 – A.

3.Conclusion, reflection.

T. In conclusion I’d like you to work on the outstanding song of legendary group “Deep purple”. It is called “Soldier of fortune”. Listen to it and fill the gaps.
