It is my best friend. S: I love music too. It makes my life colorful and lively. There are jazz music, pop music, blues, folk music and so on.

T: Look at the photos on Page 43 and please tell me what you can see.S: I can see some singers.T: Yes, they are all singers or musicians. But are there any differences between them? What does each photo show you?S: The first one is a choir.S: The second one is a solo.S: Maybe the man in the third one is playing jazz. S: We can see a band in the fourth one. T: Yes, they are singing in different ways.

With the development of soul music, its styles are no longer separated according to race.The teacher can help the students with some difficult words while they are expressing their idea.Step III ReadingEnable the students to learn different types of American music through reading and matching. T: Now, look at Activity 2. We are going to learn four types of American music. Read the passage and match the types of American music with their features. Some types of music have the same features as others.After the students have finished reading, check the answers by asking four students to read each paragraph and tell the features of the music described in it. S1: (Read gospel music) I think the features of Gospel music are: church, sophisticated, southern United States, rhythmic and nineteenth century.S2: (Read soul music) In my opinion, only rhythmic is the feature of Soul music.S3: (Read jazz) Id like to say Jazz has many features and they are: making it up as you play, using unusual rhythms, New Orleans and African American.S4: (Read blues) I can see the following are the features of Blues: guitar, piano, and harmonica; southern United States, African, American and nineteen century.T: Great. Please pay attention to this phrase: consist of = be made up of, contain, include e.g. This club consists of more than 200 members. Coal consists mostly of carbon.If possible, the teacher can play some pieces of the four types of music to the students. T: OK, now lets relax and enjoy some music. You can sense their features more directly. Step IV DiscussionLet the students talk about the topics in SPEAKING on Page 52. T: Now turn to Page 52. Look at Activity 1. Work in groups to discuss what you have learned about the origins of jazz from INTRODUCTION.

Lets underline the stressed words together. From this extract from the conversation, you are sure to find in spoken English many sentences are not complete ones, such as “Not true”, the complete sentences of which are “That / It is not true”. This is called ellipses in grammar. We will talk about it later. Then play the tape again and let the students pay attention to the stressed words. Then deal with Listening on Page 111.

T: Look at the functional items on the Bb, we use them to compare the present and the past. Read the opinions again and study how they are used by the mother to compare music in the past and that in the present. Then we will do some practice with them. Then deal with Activity 3.

DJ Herc, one of the most popular Jamaican DJs at the time, noticed that New York audiences didnt really like reggae music, so he started playing other kinds of music, including rock and disco music. MC Dark remembered the first time he heard a rap singer. “The moment I heard it,” he said, “I knew it was a completely new kind of music.” The first time that rap artists recorded their music, musicians recorded the tracking tracks (the music without the singing) in the studio and rappers added their vocals later.2.
