Procedure of the Lesson
Teacher: Morning, dear pupils, dear guests, and dear colleagues. I am glad to see you again. That is fine that all of you have gathered together at this lesson because today we‘ll speak about music.
What is music? If we are asked to explain the purpose of music, the immediate reply can be just to give pleasure. However, it is not just the arrangement of sound-it’s a living moving thing. Music is a weapon. Music reflects our life, our ideas, and emotions, feelings and mood, passions and dreams. In this age of technological progress and emotional stress we cannot live without music, we need something to calm or to shake us. That is why today we will speak about different types of music and modern styles in it, about your favoutire singers, bands and songs. You will listen to the biography of some very famous musicians whose names you know, I am sure. We are going to speak a lot, that is why the main goal of our lesson is to develop your communicative skills. I hope you will be rather active, communicative, productive and interested, because this topic is just yours.
So, welcome everybody. In a few minutes, we will get in touch with our friends from Ukraine. We are looking forward to see them. Ah, here they are. Hello, nice to see and to hear you. How are you feeling? Well, thanks, we all have already gathered and are eager to begin.

(The project about the music styles-in English, in Ukrainian).
III A discussion:
1) Безперечно, Beatles - найпопулярніша група в історії рок-музики. Було б цікаво дізнатися : що означає слово Beatles? Яке походження цієї назви? (someone of the Ukrainian Group)
The Ukrainian interpreter translates (for the English group):
Of course, The Beatles is the most popular group in rock music history. Many people ask: what are the Beatles? What is the origin of the word the Beatles?
About the Beatles:
In March of 1957, John Lennon formed a skiffle group called Quarrymen. The Quarrymen went through a progression of names-Johnny and The Moon dogs, Long John and The Beatles, The Silver Beatles and finally decided 17 August 1960 on “The Beatles.”
There are many theories as to the origin of the name and its unusual spelling: it was created by John Lennon who said that the name was a combination word-play on the insects “beetles” (as a compliment to the band The Crickets whose fan Lennon was) and the word “beat”. He also said that it was just a joke, meaning a pun on ‘Beat-less”. Lennon came up with the name Beatles at a «brainstorming session over a beer-soaked table on one of the bars”. He also joked that “It came in a vision-a man appeared on a flaming pie and said: “from this day on you are the Beatles with an A”
The English interpreter translates (for the Ukrainian group):
У березні 1957, Джон Леннон створив так звану скіфл (skiffle) групу «Кворімен» (Quarrymen). Перш ніж назватися Бітлами група пройшла через ряд різноманітних назв, зокрема “Джоні та Місячні Собаки”, “Довготелесий Джон та Жуки”, “Срібні Жуки” і, нарешті, остаточну назву Бітлз група отримала 17-го серпня, 1960 року.
Існує декілька теорій щодо походження назви групи та її незвичайного написання: ідея належить Джону Леннону, який зазначив, що слово Beatles не що інше як гра слів-поєднання слова “жуки-комахи-beetles” (як комплімент групі Крикет чиїм фанатом Леннон був) і слова “удар-beat”. “Це лише жарт»,- сказав Джон Леннон в одному зі своїх інтерв’ю, - «каламбур двох слів». Назва Бітлз спала Леннону на думку, за його ж словами, в одному з пив барів, коли разом з іншими членами групи він роздумував над її назвою. Він також жартував, що “це було наче видіння - з’являється чоловік на охопленому полум’ям пирозі і каже «з цього дня і надалі ви називатиметесь Бітлз через літеру “ей” (a) (Beatles)”
2) Someone from the English:
Nowadays rock is very popular genre among young people and there are a lot of famous rock musicians in Ukraine. What rock group is considered to be the most popular nowadays? (Eliza’s Ocean)
The English interpreter translates (for the Ukrainian group).
На сьогоднішній час рок- дуже популярний стиль музики серед молоді і в Україні є багато знаменитих рок музикантів. Яка українська рок група вважається найпопулярнішою на сьогоднішній день?
Someone from the Ukrainian group answers:
На мою думку – це група "Океан Ельзи", яка з'явилася в 1994 році у місті Львові. Гурт «Океан Ельзи» не лише користується широкою популярністю серед молоді України і Росії, у 1998 р. він отримав три національні премії – «Дебют року», «Кращий альбом» і «Краща пісня». За період творчої діяльності група створила 5 альбомів. За словами президента рекордингової кампанії «Lavina Music» альбом став платиновим за рекордних перших 6 годин, було продано 106 000 екземплярів. «Океан Ельзи» двічі відвідав Лондон з сольними концертами: у лютому 2000 р. та жовтні 2005 р.
The English interpreter translates (for the English group):
In my opinion it is a group "Elsa’s Ocean ", which appeared in 1994 in Lviv. The group is not just popular among the young people of Ukraine and Russia; in 1998 it won three national awards – «Debut of a year», the «Best album» and the «Best song». For a period of their creative activity a group released 5 albums. According to the president of the recording company «Lavina Music» an album became platinum for the first record 6 hours, 106 000 copies were sold. The "Elsa’s Ocean» visited London twice with the solo concerts: in February 2000 and in October 2005.
3) Життя Джона Леннона обірвалось трагічно. Розкажіть, будь-ласка, про причини та обставини трагічної смерті цього відомого співака. (someone from Ukrainian group)
The life of John Lennon was tragic. It would be interesting to find out the details of the tragic death of this famous musician.
Someone from the English
Lennon was killed just before 11 p.m. on the 8th of December 1980 outside his home in New York City. He had just got out of his car when the voice called “Mr. Lennon.” Lennon turned and was shot 5 times. The killer threw his gun and stood smiling. “Do you know what you just did?” shouted the doorman. ‘I just shot John Lennon,” the killer replied. Lennon was rushed to the hospital in a police car but it was too late. The killer was 25 year-old Mark Chapman from Hawaii. Earlier the same evening he had asked Lennon for his autograph. Chapman was a fan of the Beatles and Lennon and had tried to imitate him in many ways. It is said that he even believed that he was John Lennon.
After Lennon’s death appeared, that many of his records were not given out. They continued to go out during 80-s.
The English interpreter translates (to the Ukrainian group)
Леннона було вбито об 11 вечора 8-го грудня 1980 року біля його будинку в місті Нью Йорк. Вийшовши зі свого авто і прямуючи до будинку Леннон почув як хтось покликав його «Містере Леннон». Леннон обернувся, постріли пролунали 5 разів. Вбивця кинув свою вогнепальну зброю на землю і стояв посміхаючись. “Ви розумієте що ви щойно вчинили? закричав швейцар. ‘Я щойно застрелив Джона Леннона", відповів вбивця. Ленона доставили у лікарню у поліцейській патрульній машині, але було надто пізно. Вбивця -25 річний Марк Чепмен з Гаваїв- раніше того ж вечора просив у Леннона автограф. Він був фанатом Бітлз і Леннона і багато в чому навіть намагався наслідувати відомого музиканта. Говорили, що він навіть вважав себе Джоном Ленноном.
Після смерті Леннона виявилось, що багато його записів не видано. Вони продовжували виходити протягом 80-х років.
4) Would you be so kind to tell us if any of Ukrainian musicians had a tragic fate such as John Lennon? (someone from the English)
The English interpreter translates (for the Ukrainian group)
Будь-ласка, розкажіть, чи у когось з українських виконавців була така ж трагічна доля, як у Джона Леннона?
Someone from Ukrainian group:
Так, у травні 1979 р. за не з’ясованих до сьогодні обставин трагічно загинув тридцятирічний талановитий композитор, поет і виконавець перших українських шлягерів «Червона Рута», «Водограй» та ін. Володимир Івасюк. Його тіло було знайдене 18 травня 1979 року повішеним на дереві у Брюховецькому лісі поблизу Львова. Офіційна версія — самогубство.
Його рідні та друзі не вірили в офіційну версію смерті. Вони були переконані, що представники КДБ, затримавши композитора, декілька днів допитували його в своїх підвалах, а потім вивезли в ліс і повісили.
Дійсно, між датою зникнення і датою смерті Івасюка є біла пляма. 24 квітня 1979 року Володимир пішов на заняття в консерваторію. Додому не повернувся. 26 квітня батьки, не дочекавшись сина, звернулися в міліцію. І лише 18 травня було знайдено тіло, яке не мало ознак розкладання. Слід від петлі був свіжим. Де ж все-таки знаходився композитор між 24 квітня і 18 травня? Можливо відповідь на це запитання знаходилася серед знищених у серпні 1991 р. документів архівів Львівського управління КДБ.
22 травня 1979 р. відбувся похорон Володимира Івасюка на Личаківському цвинтарі у Львові, що вилився у масову акцію протесту проти радянської влади. З цього часу на творчість композитора було накладено заборону.
The Ukrainian interpreter translates (for the English group)
Yes, in May, 1979 under circumstances not found out until now at the age of thirty tragically died a talented composer, poet and performer of the first Ukrainian hits «Red Rue», «Waterfall» and others Volodimir Ivasyuk. His body was found on May 18, 1979 hung up on a tree in Bryukhovetskyi forest near Lvov. An official version of his death is suicide.
His family and friends disbelieved in the official version of his death. They were convinced, that the representatives of KGB, having detained a composer, for a few days interrogated him in the cellar, and then took out to the forest and hung up.
Indeed, between the date of his disappearance and the date of his death there is a white spot. On April, 24, 1979 Volodimir went to a conservatory and did not return home. On April, 26 his parents, being unable to wait more, turned to the militia for help. A body without any little signs of decay was found on May, 18. The mark from a loop was fresh. Where was a composer all that time between April, 24 and May, 18? Possibly an answer to this question was among documents of archives of the Lviv department of KGB which were destroyed in August in 1991.
On May, 22 in 1979 the funeral of Vladimir Ivasyuk took place on Lychakiv cemetery in Lviv which outpoured into the mass action of protest against soviet power. Since that time all the works of Volodymyr Ivasiuk were forbidden to perform.
- Someone from Ukrainian group
Who will present Ukraine on Eurovision Song Contest in 2007 year?-(someone from the English)
The English interpreter translates (for the Ukrainian group)
Хто в 2007 році буде представляти Україну на конкурсі «Євробачення»?
Someone from Ukrainian group:
У цьому році на конкурсі «Євробачення» Україну буде представляти Вєрка Сердючка, вона ж Андрій Михайлович Данилко.
Вперше в ролі Вєрки Сердючки Андрій Данилко з’явився першого квітня на гуморині в Полтаві, де отримав небачений успіх. У 1993 р. став лауреатом конкурсу «Всесміх-93». Це був його перший виступ в Києві, який пройшов із великим успіхом.
В 1997 році він записав свою першу пісню „Просто Вєра”. Пізніше з’явилися інші композиції. Альбом «Ха-ра-шо!» за підсумками 2003 року мав рекордний тираж і отримав титул «Діамантовий» - лише в Україні було продано понад 500 тисяч офіційних копій альбому. В листопаді вийшов альбом «Чита-дрита». Слід зауважити, що є люди, які вважають, що Вєрка Сердючка дискредитує образ українця, у зв’язку з цим були випадки страйків на її концертах.
Ми з нетерпінням чекаємо конкурсу і з цікавістю будемо спостерігати, як Європа сприйме нашу незвичайну представницю.
The Ukrainian interpreters translate (for the English group)
This year on Eurovision Song Contest Ukraine will be presented by Verka Serdyuchka, that is Andriy Mykhaylovych Danylko.
For the first time in the image of Verka Serdyuchka Andriy Danylko appeared on the first of April in Poltava, where he got extraordinary success. In 1993 he became the laureate of a contest «All-laugh-93». This was his first performance in Kyiv, which passed with great success.
In 1997 he wrote down the first song “Just Vera”. Other compositions appeared soon. An album «Kha-ra-sho!» in 2003 had the record circulation and got a title the «Diamond» - over 500 thousand official copies of the album were sold only in Ukraine. The album «Chita-drita» went out in November. It should be noticed that some people consider that Verka Serdyuchka discredits the Ukrainian nation, so there were cases of strikes on her concerts.
With great impatience and interest we look forward to a contest to see how Europe will perceive our unusual representative.

VII The discussion:
For and against pop music
Since early 50s pop music has been the center of young people culture and at the same time it has attracted serious study and has been criticized a lot. Some people consider it to be a poison for our young generation. It would be interesting to listen to your points of view on either positive or negative influence of pop music on young generation. Please, share you thoughts with us.
For:
- pop music is like the universal language; it is the center of the youth culture, the young people are united by it, communicate through it.
- New pop groups and singers sing about the things which are important in life. About 99 % of pop songs are about love. That’s why some of old songs by the Beatles rare still popular nowadays.
- young people search for new rhythms and new styles and create their own music;
- the new rhythms are full of life and force: just what is interesting to young people. The tunes are happy and easily caught.
- The words of the songs tell us about the young people’s world: theory hopes, interests, dreams, sorrows and joys. They sing about the things which are important in life.
- It’s an experimental kind of music: different groups are looking for new forms and sometimes achieve really.
- The popularity of this style speaks in its favour. It attracts great masses of young people, it helps them to relax and get a bit of entertainment. Why should we deprive them of the joy they obviously get from this music.
- Sometimes when I am at a loss, sad or disappointed I need something to “shock me” then I listen to any kind of modern music, especially to rock. It is physical, powerful music that helps me to shake myself up.
Against:
- before rejecting the old styles and rhymes one should know something about them. Most pop music fans don’t know.
- the rhythms can be new and full of power, but they lack variety. It’s the same monotonous beat again and again. The tunes are very primitive and as easily forgotten as caught.
- The words of some of the songs are absolutely senseless. The songs often contain rude and offensive words.
- Medical research has proved beyond doubt that volume of sound produces by powerful music at some pop concerts does great damage both to the sense of hearing and to the nervous system. Indeed cases of mass hysteria are very usual at pop concerts. Are we bringing-up generation of the half-deaf neurotics?
- In Australia taped pop music is used to frighten the sharks off the public beaches. Obviously the sharks’ nerves cannot endure this kind of noise.
- The technique and the voices of most musicians are very poor. Much attention is paid to the “body cult” not to the real art.
- Nowadays there are many second-rate products which are nothing but a review of the old songs.
What is the conclusion?
We can’t reject any kind of music-a person has a right to choose what to listen to. There must be a message in the words and in the melody which can be passed through ages from generation to generation.
VIII A game. “Who sings these songs?”
Listen to the songs and guess who is singing them
