Step 1: Lead-in

Music plays an important role in our daily life. Have you ever had the experience of listening to a piece of music and feeling that it is written just for you? Music can be used to express many feelings， such as love， sorrow， friendship and peace. Although people from different areas of the world have different styles of music， we can still understand each other’s music. Without music， what would our lives be like?

How much do you know about music? Now let’s try to say some words about music:

● Music: classical music， pop music， folk music， swing music， blues， jazz， rock and roll， rap， opera…

● People related to music: musician， singer， composer， pianist， violinist…

● Musical instruments: guitar， piano， violin， drum…

Step 2: Sharing information

1. Work in groups of four and discuss the four pictures on page 17.

Picture of a jazz band

What are the people doing in this picture? What do you know about jazz?

(Jazz is a musical art form. At the end of the 19th century， jazz music was the most popular type of music. Jazz was started in New Orleans in the USA and most jazz musicians at that time were black. It has been called the first original art form to develop in the USA. Early jazz musicians made money by playing in small bands. Often， jazz musicians made up the music as they were playing. Early jazz came from folk music and later developed into something else of its own.)

Do you know any famous jazz musicians?

(Louis Armstrong， one of the most famous jazz musicians， was born in New Orleans. He created wonderful jazz music with his trumpet. In addition to playing trumpet， he also sang and danced. He performed on Broadway， in films and recorded music.)

What does jazz music sound like to you?

Picture of Chinese opera

What are the people doing in this picture? What is Chinese opera?

(Chinese opera is a traditional form of drama in China. It started in the Tang Dynasty when Emperor Xuanzong founded the ‘Pear Garden’. A Chinese opera performance includes elements such as dance， song， dialogue， swordplay and acrobatics. The features of Chinese opera which can distinguish a character’s age， gender and personality are the makeup， movements， props and the colour of costumes.)

What does Chinese opera sound like?

(To some young people nowadays， the music accompanied by gongs， cymbals， drums and stringed instruments sounds a bit ‘shrill’ and ‘noisy’. However， the stories and the melodies are unique.)

Do you know any famous Chinese opera performers?

Picture of a girl playing the violin

What is the girl doing in this picture? What do you know about the violin?

(The violin belongs to the string family of instruments. It is made of wood and uses steel strings. A violinist uses a bow pulled across the strings to create beautiful music.)

Do you know any famous violinists?

(In the past， the great violinists played the violin as well as writing music for the instrument. After the 19th century， composers and violinists started to be two different roles. The most famous violin composers and players are Corelli， Vivaldi， Locatelli and later Paganini， Sarasate， Wieniawski， Vieuxtemps， Ysave， Kreisler and Enesco.

Picture of a girl playing the piano

What is the girl doing in this picture? What do you know about the piano?

(The piano belongs to the percussion family of instruments. It consists of a keyboard attached to a wooden box， inside of which are metal strings. A piano is played by pressing the keys. Each of the keys is attached to a hammer that strikes one of the strings inside the box.)

Do you know any famous pianists?

(Among the most famous pianists are Beethoven from Germany， Franz Liszt from Hungary and Frederick Chopin from Poland. Beethoven is known for his sonatas， Liszt for the Hungarian Rhapsody and Chopin for Revolution Etude.)

2. Work in pairs and have a discussion about the three questions below the pictures.

Sample answers

1 My favourite kind of music is classical music. Classical music uses orchestras and many instruments cooperating to create music together. I like listening to music played by orchestras. You can hear things played on instruments from all of the different families--woodwind， string， percussion and brass. Also， classical music tends to be slower， so it makes me feel calm when I listen to it.

2 The musician I like very much is Jay Chou. Many people may think that he is just a pop singer， but I consider him to be a pop musician. He sings about broken heart， urban stress and young dreams. He expresses his experiences， feeling and personality into his music， which attracts young people who have similar thoughts. That is why many teenagers in China like him so much.

3 Yes. I watched Chinese operas with my grandfather when I was young. A Chinese opera performance includes elements like dance， dialogue， swordplay and acrobatics. The music instruments used for Chinese opera include gongs， cymbals， drums and stringed instruments. A character’s age， gender and personality are shown through the makeup， movements， props and colour costumes. In comparison， Western opera puts greater emphasis on music and design， conveying a story through singing and dancing. Dialogue is expressed through songs. Both Chinese and Western opera use music to express themes like love， betrayal and hope.

Step 3: Discussion

Many of us believe that music can have a very great effect on us. This is especially true of classical music， which some people believe can make us calmer or even smarter. There is a theory， called the ‘Mozart Effect’， that playing classical music for a child can help his or her brain develop. As a result， a lot of parents play classical music for their children， some even beginning before the child is born， in the hope that their children will be smarter. What do you think of the ‘Mozart Effect’ theory? Do you think it is true? Why or why not?

Do you think adults can become smarter or calmer by listening to classical music? Why or why not?

Step 4: Homework

1. Collect more information about music.

2. Prepare the Reading part.

Step6: Pair work

Talk about a Western or a Chinese opera that you are all familiar with. Introduce the main characters， the setting and the plot.

Chinese Opera

The Chinese opera is a traditional form of stage entertainment， weaving together elements of mime， dance， song， dialogue， swordplay， and acrobatics into one fluid continuous flow. Gestures， movements and expressions incorporated within each performer's script come together to bring forth an impressive performance. In contrast to Western stage entertainment， which is subdivided into different categories such as opera， drama and sketches， Chinese opera has remained faithful to its original format over the centuries.

By doing away with three-dimensional stage props and complicated backdrops found in Western opera， Chinese opera conveys the idea of time and space to the audience through the acting of performers. This simple and flexible technique is called “imagined time and space” in Chinese operatic terminology. The acting， however， is not mere imitation of movements in daily life. Instead， it has been perfected to bring out just their essentials， making them highly-stylize and rhythmic dancing movements. Such acting is described in Chinese stage language as "stylized formula". In addition， Chinese opera has specific costumes， facial make-ups， musical motifs and recitations to represent each character in the series of characters known as Xingtous. All this， plus imagined time and space and stylized acting， has enabled the story to rise above real life and create a strong dramatic atmosphere with distinct operatic effects.

Western ears do not readily appreciate this art， for Chinese opera often seems shrilly and 'noisy'. Shrill voices pierce the air， accompanied by loud gongs， crashing cymbals， pounding drums and droning stringed instruments. The music is not intended to be melodic， as in the West， but rather used as punctuation to the performance. Chinese opera is an art of the people-enjoyed and appreciated by all across the social spectrum. In a real sense it is a folk art， comparable in many ways with the Chinese Circus. Although the music of Chinese opera may seem very alien， the stories told are very familiar to those accustomed to Western opera: heroes battle overwhelmingly powerful foes， good versus evil， and lovers seek escape from domineering and disapproving parents.

A distinct feature of Chinese opera is the makeup， movements， props， and colorful costumes. These features identify a character's age， sex， and personality the moment he or she enters the story. Face painting leans heavily on earlier forms of mask and make up. Facial patterns rely on exaggeration and the symbolism of color to suggest a character's attributes and personality. The painted faces become what the Chinese call ‘a mirror of the soul’. Well-versed members of the audience will be able to tell instantly the personality of characters on the stage by their painted faces. Although colors sometime represent a physical attribute of a character， they are predominantly used as indicators of a character’s personality. Apart from the exquisitely embroidered traditional costumes， head-dresses are a requisite in Chinese opera. The more elaborate the head-dress， the more significant the character. Costumes are extravagant in style in order to achieve as great a theatrical effect as possible. Like the face makeup， the color codes of these costumes identify the various ranks， status， and personality of the characters.

Although sharing a common ancestry， Chinese opera boasts over 300 various distinct forms-taking their names from their places of origin. These forms are generally discernible by their use of local dialects and distinct ‘melodies’. Beijing opera is considered by most to be the most refined. Also widespread are Pingju Opera， Kunqu Opera， Shaoxing Opera， Henan Opera， Sichuan Opera， Shanxi Opera， Huangmei Opera， Huagu Opera and Yangko Opera. Some Chinese ethnic minority groups have some local form of operas. Many modern instrumental music pieces incorporate traditional instruments while adapting a more modern style. However， instrumental music is still very traditional. Many works of traditional music are still played by small quartets and large orchestras. Chinese melodies are quite unique and incorporate into many modern compositions. Chinese instrumental music has changed because it is no longer restricted to the traditional format. Even non-traditional instruments such as the piano are used in creating modern works.

Western Opera

Opera is a form of theatre in which the drama is conveyed wholly or predominantly through music and singing. Opera emerged in Italy around the year 1600 and is generally associated with the Western classical music tradition. Opera uses many of the elements of spoken theatre such as scenery， costumes， and acting. Generally， however， opera is distinguished from other dramatic forms by the importance of song and conventions of vocal technique. The singers are accompanied by a musical ensemble ranging from a small instrumental ensemble to a full symphonic orchestra. Opera may also incorporate dance; this was especially true of French opera for much of its history.

Comparable art forms from various other parts of the world， many of them ancient in origin， exist and are also sometimes called “opera” by analogy， usually prefaced with an adjective indicating the region (for example， Chinese opera). These independent traditions are not derivative of Western opera， but are rather distinct forms of musical theatre. Opera is also not the only type of Western musical theatre: in the ancient world， Greek drama featured singing and instrumental accompaniment; and in modern times， other forms such as the musical have appeared.

The word opera means “works” in Italian (from the plural of Latin opus meaning “work” or “labour”) suggesting that it combines the arts of solo and choral singing， declamation， acting and dancing in a staged spectacle. Dafne by Jacopo Peri was the earliest composition considered opera， as understood today. It was written around 1597， largely under the inspiration of an elite circle of literate Florentine humanists who gathered as the "Camerata". Significantly， Dafne was an attempt to revive the classical Greek drama， part of the wider revival of antiquity characteristic of the Renaissance. The members of the Camerata considered that the "chorus" parts of Greek dramas were originally sung， and possibly even the entire text of all roles; opera was thus conceived as a way of “restoring” this situation. Dafne is unfortunately lost. A later work by Peri， Euridice， dating from 1600， is the first opera score to have survived to the present day. The honour of being the first opera still to be regularly performed， however， goes to Claudio Monteverdi’s Orfeo， composed for the court of Mantua in 1607.

Step1. Lead-in

At the beginning of today’s class， let’s play a guessing game. Here are several cards， in each of which is written an instrument. I’d like one of you to give a brief description of them and other students to guess what they are.

For reference

1. piano: a large musical instrument with a row of black and white keys which are pressed to play notes.

2. violin: a wooden musical instrument with four strings which is held against the neck and played by moving a bow across the strings.

3. guitar: a musical instrument with six strings and a long neck which is usually made of wood， and which is played by pulling or hitting the strings with the fingers.

4. cello: a wooden musical instrument with four strings， that is held vertically between the legs and is played by moving a bow across the strings.

5. trumpet: a brass musical instrument consisting of a metal tube with one narrow end， into which the player blows， and one wide end. Three buttons are pressed in order to change notes.

6. horn: a curved musical instrument made of metal， which is narrow at the end you blow down to make a sound， and wider towards the other end.

7. flute: a tube-shaped musical instrument with a hole that you blow across at one end while holding the tube out horizontally to one side of you.

8. clarinet: a tube-shaped musical instrument which is played by blowing through a single reed and pressing the metal keys to produce different notes.

9. cymbal: a flat round musical instrument made of brass， which makes a loud noise when hit with a stick or against another cymbal.

5. Do you know any famous orchestras in China or in other places around the world?

For reference

Usually there are two types of orchestra. A chamber orchestra is a small group， and a symphony or philharmonic orchestra is a larger group which includes all of the instrument families.

The music that an orchestra plays is usually classical.

The members of an orchestra are musicians， including the conductor， the pianist， the violinist， the flutist and so on.

There are different types of musical instruments in an orchestra. The percussion family includes the piano， the timpani， the xylophone， the triangle， the snare drum， the bass drum， the woodblocks and the gongs. The brass family are the trumpet， the horn， the trombone and the tuba. The woodwind family members are the flute， the clarinet， the oboe and the bassoon. Sometimes the saxophone also joins the orchestra. The string section has four kinds of stringed instruments in the orchestra-the violins， the violas， the cellos and the double basses.

Ellipsis

不详句是英语的一种习尚用法。按照语法的分析，句子应该具备的身分，巧合出于修辞上的需要，在句中并不出现，这种句子叫作念不详句（elliptical sentences），这种语法征象称为“不详”（ellipsis or leaving words out）。其特色是：固然省去句子语法构造所需要的组成部分，但仍能抒发其竣工的真谛。

Period 5

Task ( Making an exhibition board about a composer)

Teaching aims:

1. to improve the students’ listening ，speaking and writing skills.

2. to collect facts and figure out opinions.

Teaching procedures:

Skills building 1: listening for facts about people

Every one of you must have a good friend in your class. Would you like to give your best friend a brief introduction? Or would you like to talk about a famous person that you admire most?

What information do you want to know when we talk about people?

● dates (born/died)

● places (born/died)

● specific things done in their life

● detailed information (why they did so; who or what influenced them)

Step 1: taking notes on famous composers P26

Skills building 2: finding about people’s lives

1. To obtain more detailed information， what are we supposed to do when we already know a little about a topic? (Asking questions.)

2. If you already know some general information about a famous composer， but you want to get more detailed information about him or her， what should you do? What information would you like to know about the famous composer’s life? One of the good ways to learn about people’s lives is to ask some questions.

3. Read the guidelines and the eleven questions on page 28 and compare them with your own questions. Then decide which questions can help you get more detailed information.

Step 2: asking for further information

Now， let’s use the skills we just learned to get further information. Suppose you interview a member of the school music club.

1. Work individually to think up and write down as many questions as you can to find more detailed information. You can consult your notes on page 26.

2. Work in pairs， one asks questions and the other answers these questions using the prompts. After that， I’d like you to present the questions and answers in front of the classroom.

Skills building 3: writing someone’s life story

1. Discussion:

When you write a person’s life story on an exhibition board， what should be included in it?

Should the date and place of his or her birth and death， timeline of the things he or she did and people’s opinions on him or her be included? How will this information be organized?

How can you find the facts or get the timeline?

Do you think it necessary to add a picture of the person you choose to write about?

2. Read the guidelines in this part to find out the main things you should pay attention to when writing a life story.

Step 3: writing the life story of a composer

Now， let’s try to write a life story about a famous composer based on the information you have collected in Step 1 and 2.

1. Work in pairs: review the information you have listened to， the article you read about Mozart on page 27 and the other information you read on page 28. Discuss the following questions:

When and where was Mozart born?

What style of music did he compose？

When did he write his first piece of music?

What famous works did he write?

When and where did he die?

2. Let’s use the information that you gathered in Steps 1 and 2 to write the life story of a composer， referring to the questions in Skills building 3. Read the instructions in this part. Before writing， you should think about what you should write in your articles.

Possible example

The life of a famous composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

(1756-1791)

Early years

Born on 27 January 1756， in Salzburg， Austria， Mozart showed remarkable talent in music. His father was a successful composer and served as his first musical tutor. At the age of five， Mozart started writing classical music. He composed classical music and had his first piece of music published in 1764. He composed his first opera at the age of twelve in 1768.

Achievements

Some of the famous music that he wrote included:

The Marriage of Figaro， which he wrote for the Vienna Opera， one of the world’s best-known opera houses.

Don Giovanni， another successful opera he wrote in 1787.

The Magic Flute， written in 1791， just before he died later the same year.

Family

In 1782， Mozart married Constanze Weber， a young woman from Germany.

Period 6

Project (Making a web page)

Teaching aims:

Improve the students’ ability of practice.

Important points & difficult points:

Read the passage about the history of music from jazz to pop

Language points in the text

Teaching Procedures:

Step 1: lead-in

The project in this unit is designed to help you practise and use English by completing a project. You are first asked to read a magazine article about the development of pop music over the last one hundred years. You are expected to take this article as your sample and do some research on a singer or a band to make a web page. The purpose of this section is to help you use what you have learnt to finish a project by working together. During the course of the project， you will discuss which singer or band you will focus on， what you will include in the project and how you can organize your web page. In order to finish the project， you are expected to know how to cooperate and work together to complete each part.

Step2: Fsat Reading

Have you heard of the Eagles? It’s a world-famous rock & roll band. Let’s first enjoy their classic “hotel California”.

Like most Americans， and most bands formed in California， the Eagles came from eslewhere. Their brand of rock'n'roll was nurtured in the heartland， not on the fringes. Early songs from “Take it easy” to “Desperado” were dubbed “country rock”. But， as the Seventies rolled on， the Eagles soared higher and wider. “Best of my love” and “Lyin'eyes” were rock and pop and country and the fans took them as their own.. The distance between the country and the city， the redneck and the hippie， narrowed. In the Nineties， that gap would be forever closed by another generation of country rockers.

Well， are you interested in pop music? Would you like to know more about rock music? Let’s read the passage and you’ll get more information.

Step3: Detailed reading

Read the article and find out as much information as possible about Western Pop music. Organize the outline of the article as follows:

Early jazz

● Jazz began in the USA.

● After World War I， jazz was the most popular type of music.

● It came from the folk songs of American black slaves.

● The trumpet was and still is one of the most important instruments used in jazz.

● Louis Armstrong is seen as one of the founding fathers of jazz.

● Solo performance became an essential part of every jazz song.

From swing music to rock and roll

● Swing music is a kind of jazz for dancing.

● It is faster than traditional jazz music.

● Swing music was usually played in dance halls by ‘big bands’， including a pianist， a violinist and a bassist， as well as others.

● R﹠B is a kind of mixture of jazz and swing.

● R﹠B included both guitar and saxophone solos.

● R﹠B developed into what we know as rock and roll.

● Big Jon Turner， a black American singer， is thought to be one of the pioneers of rock and roll.

● Sam Philips， a music promoter from Memphis， Tennessee， found that a white man named Elvis Presley could sing like a black man.

1960s pop music

● The Beatles were the most popular rock and roll band of the 1960s.

● The Beatles helped make Western pop music popular around the world.

● Wherever the Beatles went， large numbers of fans would welcome them.

Step4: Task

Read the article again. Underline the key words， phrases or sentences about the development of pop music.

Step5: Discussion
