Welcome to Music
Music has played an important part in the activities of humans since the Stone Age and remains an essential part of our lives today. A recent survey indicated that people listen to an average of four hours of music every day – either at live concerts, or on the radio or television, or through an MP3, cassette or CD player.
In the following table, write down a summary of the music to which you have listened during the past 24 hours.
Type of music Where/how you heard it How long you listened
This may give you some indication of the importance of music in your life.
About Music
Have a class discussion about the types of music which you hear regularly and the significance of music in your life. The following questions may help give some direction to your conversation:
Do you listen to music before school? Do you listen to music on the way to and/or from school? Does music play a significant role in your school’s activity program? Do you play a musical instrument? Are you a member of a musical ensemble? Are any of your friends involved in music? Do you attend concerts? What music do you like listening to most? Do you listen to music whilst doing homework? How would you feel if you could no longer listen to music?
You may think that you only know about one type of music, but you might be surprised just how many pieces of music of other forms that you recognise.
On Track 1 of CD 1, you will hear 20 short excerpts of music.
As you listen to each excerpt, write down the name of the group, or the composer and/or the name of the piece. If you don’t recognise the piece, then write down something that occurs to you about the music.
