All kinds of music styles:1. Classical music 古典音乐Classical music was the music of European courts（欧洲宫廷）and big concert halls. Classical music refers to orchestral (管弦乐的）music of the 18th and early19th century. Beethoven and Mozart (莫扎特）are two of the most famous classical composers(作曲家).2. folk music 民族音乐Folk Music, the music with which the people of a nation or an ethnic(种族的) group most specifically identify(区别) themselves. Folk music is most commonly the music of the socially and economically lower classes(阶级,阶层).3. jazz 爵士乐Jazz has been called “the art of expression set to music”, and “ America’s great contribution to music”.

Lesson 82Step 1 Revision1 Check the homework.2 Revise words about music: rock band, pop, concert, singer, Beatles, piano, violin, etc.Step 2 Pre-readSB Page 32, Part 1. In small groups have the students discuss the questions. Students may get some information from Notes to the texts at the back of the Students‘ Book. Then ask What kinds of music do you like? If you have tapes of different music, play some and discuss what kinds of music they are, and what the students like and dislike about the different types of music. Some examples of music that can be found in China are pop music, both Chinese and Western, classical, rap (吟快板, a type of rhythmic talk ing, which is accompanied by music), rock’n roll, folk music, both Chinese and Western, jazz and blues, etc. If you know someone, or you yourself can sing well, invite them to sing some songs that are of different kinds of music.Step 3 Presentation1 Play a tape or CD of some music by Beethoven. When playing the tape, have the students close their eyes and feel the music. Then discuss what they felt, i.e. happy, sad, comforting, etc.2 Talk a little about Beethoven. He was born on Dec. 16, 1770 in Bonn, Germany. He was a child prodigy who became a great composer and musician. His father died when he was only eighteen years old. From that time on he had to provide for himself and his two younger brothers. To do this, he played the viola in an orchestra. In 1792 Haydn, a famous composer at the time, saw Beethoven perform and realized he was a very talented musician. He asked him to come to Vienna, Austria with him and study under him. Beethoven did, and became a great composer. His music was filled with his own emotions which created a new style of music at the time. His Moonlight Sonata was actually written for his love of Countess Giulietta who refused to marry him. Later on in his life, Beethoven became deaf and had to compose his music entirely in his head without ever hearing a note of it himself. He died on March 26, 1827.Step 4 ReadingSB Page 32, Part 2, Speech Cassette Lesson 82. If available, play a song from Beethoven quietly while the students read the text silently to themselves (It has been proven that playing classical music while studying helps one to take in more information). Then say Tell me something about the girl in the story. (She could play the piano well, she was blind and taught herself to play, etc. ) Give the students a few minutes to scan for the information about the girl. Then play the Speech Cassette and have the students listen and repeat. Teach the new vocabulary through context: poor, knock, knock at, pardon, shine, bright, brightly and through. Do Wb Lesson 82, Ex. 1.Step 5 Workbook Wb Lesson 82, Ex. 2. Students individually write a letter.

So, those were some thoughts on my favorite type of music.喜欢所有音乐,小时侯弹过四年电子琴,所以一直对古典情有独衷;后来迷上欧美乐坛,BSB,BOYZONE, WESTLIFE,911,TAKE THAT,98DEGREE,SPICE GIRLS,等等等等,流行的基本都听过,CHARLOTTE CHURCH,BOYZ II MEN,BON JOVI,SCORPIONS,SUEDE.LP等等,各方面的音乐我都有涉及,那几百张CD就是证明,当然因为从古典起家,所以还是喜欢旋律好的,歌词基本不细听,但象BSB的我基本每首都会唱直到现在依然喜欢后街男孩的歌,我觉得那就是流行乐的颠峰了,BLACK AND BLUE,MILLENIUM,这是我听过的最好的专辑.直到最近两年才开始听国内港台的歌,主要是因为买了MP3,没事BAIDU一下,随便下几首,所有主流的基本都听过,而且因为有音乐基础,所以基本听过一遍就能记住旋律,至少不会跑调。
