Reading

T. So, do you agree that music we listen to depends on our mood? In different stages of our life we prefer to listen to different type of music, don’t we? But how does music work? What makes it incredible? Let us know from the text.

Pre-reading

Students listen and number the musical instruments in the order they hear them (piano, trumpet, violin, flute, saxophone, banjo, guitar, drums).

Pupils read the title and guess what he text is about. Then read and check their answers.

While-reading

Pupils read the  text and explain words in bold.

THE FOUR ELEMENTS OF MUSIC

Everyone loves music, but have ever thought about what makes a piece of music? There are four main elements in any piece of music: melody, harmony, rhythm and dynamics, Let’s take  a closer look at there elements.

Melody: This is the tune which we hear when we listen to a piece of music. The melody is made up of single tones, or pitches, played one after the other. When we talk about the tone or pitch of a sound, we mean how high or low it is.

Harmony: This is how different notes and chords sound when they are played at the same time.

Rhythm: This means “musical time”. Rhythm helps to organize music by dividing it unto small sections between each strong beat. Strong beats occur in patterns, such as every two, three or four beats. We c an play music at different speeds, too. We call the speed of music the tempo.

Dynamics. These tell the musicians how to play a piece of music. They show when the music should be quiet and when it should be loud. When a composer writes a piece of music, he thinks about these four elements and puts them all together to make what we know simply as a “song”.

Past-reading

Students ask each other comprehension questions.

1.          What is melody?
2.          What is rhythm?
3.          What is harmony?
4.          What is dynamics?

3.             SUMMARY

T. So, children. Let’s summarise our work. What did we do at the lesson? What new about music did you discover today? Do you agree that without music our life would be much poorer? Your home task is to find information and write about your favourite singer or band.
