ХОД УРОКА

1. Beginning of the Lesson

Teacher: Good morning! Sit down, please. I am very glad to see you and hope that you are ready for the lesson and are in a good mood. Today’s lesson is dedicated to music, its beauty, its place and role in people’s life.

2. Introduction of the Lesson

Teacher: Take a look at what famous people have said about music.

On the blackboard: 

“Music is universal language of the world.”

Longfellow

“Music is another Lady that talks charmingly and says nothing”.

Austin O’Malley

Teacher: I want you to express your own opinions. Do you agree or disagree with these statements?

Pupil 1: I absolutely agree with these people. Music is a part of our life. We can hear it everywhere: in the streets and at home, over the radio and on TV, in the shops and in the parks. A lot of people enjoy music. Music enriches us and unites people of different nationalities.

Pupil 2: Music helps us to understand the world around us, and broadens our mind. Music offers us opportunities for our personal development. It also makes our taste better. Music touches our hearts and helps us picture the best moments of our life.

Teacher: It is impossible to argue with great people. I am of the same opinion. I love music, too. We can’t live without music.
We have already spoken about musical places in Britain and in Russia, about your and your parents’ attitude to music you listen to; about musicians, classical and pop music. We’ll travel to a very beautiful magic world, the world of music. So, what will our travel be like?
On our way we are going to make some stops at different stations and you’ll do different tasks. Let’s start!

3. Warm-up Activities

Teacher: To make our travel easier,
– let’s list as many different styles of music as you can;
– name adjectives which can help you to describe music;
– name all the verbs you know which are connected with music.

4. Follow-up Activities

Activity 1

Teacher: We are coming to the first station “Musical Britain”. Look at the map of the UK. Some musical centers of Britain can be seen here. Why are they marked on the map?

Pupil 1: London is marked on the map, because this city has a long tradition of classical music. I think it is so, because London is the capital of the country, its cultural centre. There are many theatres, opera houses and concert halls there.

Pupil 2: Liverpool is well known as the home town of the Beatles. This pop-group first performed there in 1959.

Pupil 3: Scotland has a tradition of bagpipe music. Not everyone likes the sound it makes, but to the Scots bagpipe music is the most exciting in the world. Every town in Scotland has a pipe band.

Pupil 4: Aldeburgh is marked on the map because of the music festival. This festival is held every summer and was started by the English composer Benjamin Britten.

Pupil 5: Edinburgh is internationally known because of an annual festival of music. This festival is held in August and September. It was first held in 1947.

Activity 2

Teacher: Let us stop at the next station “Music: the soundtrack of our life”. You will listen to different pieces of music for some seconds. Your task is to describe them and say what feelings they evoke in you.

Classical music.

Pupil 1: I think, it is classical music. This music is melodic and appealing. It is a complex of emotions. It gives delight, pleasure and a sense of happiness. The power of classical music always captivates me.

Jazz music.

Pupil 2: To my mind, this piece of music is jazz. This music is a mixture of many different kinds of music. I consider it a bit complicated. Improvisation is an important part of this style.

Rock music.

Pupil 3: This is rock. I find this music noisy and dreadful, though some young people are fond of this style, it is not to everyone’s taste. When I listen to this music to my mind it presents pictures of dark days. Music which is played too loudly can destroy our ears.

Pupil 4: But I love rock. I listen to hard rock and techno. I like extreme sports and I think that rock goes well with all the feats made by extreme sportsmen. This music is exciting, and breathtaking; it gives me energy after a hard, boring day at school.

Folk music.

Pupil 5: If I am not mistaken, this is folk music. It is passionate, unforgettable and overwhelming. The tune is delightful and light. This music arouses romantic feelings. The mood is spirited, enthusiastic, and joyful.

Pop music.

Pupil 6: I think, this piece represents pop music. It is full of energy. When I listen to pop music it helps me remember happy days and forget the problems of everyday life. It entertains me and helps me to relax.

Activity 3

Teacher: The next station is called “Great Composers of the Past”. From your music lessons you know that every country can be proud of its composers and musicians. Different composers from different countries have conquered the hearts of people all over the world. What names come to your mind when you hear the word “composer”?

Students name great composers and countries they are from.

Teacher: Now I want you to form 2 groups. The task for the first group: the following parts of the text about Mozart are mixed up. Put them in the right order.

A. When he was 6 years old his father decided to take him and his sister to the big cities of Europe. Two children gave concerts in Germany, Austria, France, England, and Switzerland. The audience was delighted to see such a small boy playing the clavier.

B. Burdens of life, poverty and disease speeded up his death. He died at the age of 35. The real fame came to Mozart only after his death. Many people know and like his music.

C. Wolfgang Mozart is a famous Austrian composer. He was born in 1756. His father, a violinist and a composer, noticed wonderful talent of his son and taught him how to play musical instruments and to compose.

D. When he was 14 he was invited to Italy. He could not imagine his life without music. By the age of 19 Mozart was the author of ten major musical works.

E. Being four years old Mozart played the clavier. When he was five or six he started composing music. At the age of eight-nine Mozart composed his first symphonies and at the age of ten – his first creations for musical theatre.

F. At the age of 26 he moved from his native town to Vienna. Though he didn’t have a great success as a composer in Vienna, Mozart wrote many songs and symphonies.
