But there are as many different kinds of music as different languages, and it is impossible to describe them all. Here are just a few well-known types. Classical music is serious Western European music from the Middle Ages(1500) to the present and it was often written for a large orchestra, or for a small group of players. Many instruments can be used. A lot of music was also written to be sung as opera. Classical music is very popular and schools often teach this type of music. Jazz developed in the Southern States of North America at the beginning of last century. The black people of these states, who were originally slaves from Africa, had their own rhythms. Jazz brought classical music and African rhythms together. Blues was originally Black Country music, which also came from the Southern States of last century. It is slow, usually sad music, which is often sung by one person with a guitar. Rhythm and blues developed from the Blues in America in the 1940s. It became faster and more complex and used more instruments, e.g. saxophone, guitar, piano, drums. The music was often about city life and white musicians started playing it as well. Musicians in the 1950s developed Rock from Rhythm and Blues and it became popular with young people. It spread to Europe in the 1960s and is now known in most countries. A lot of pop music comes from Rock and Roll. Pop music developed from Rock and Roll in America, Britain and Europe in the 1960s and is now in every country. The name is used for most commercial music, i.e. music we can buy on records and hear on “pop radio”. It is usually played by groups who often use electric instruments and make videos to go with their records. 2.

T: Who is the man? S: (Ss probably answer) Elvis Presley. Then ask the Ss to report some information about Elvis Presley. Detailed information about Elvis Presley: Elvis Presley is the undisputed King of Rock and Roll. He rose from humble circumstances to launch the rock and roll revolution with his commanding voice and charismatic stage presence. In the words of the historical marker that stands outside the house where he was born: Presleys career as a singer and entertainer redefined popular music. Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, on January 8, 1935, and grew up surrounded by gospel music of the Pentecostal church. In 1948 the family moved to Memphis, where he was exposed to blues and jazz on Beale Street. After graduating from high school in 1953, an 18-year-old Presley visited the Memphis Recording Service - also the home of Sun Records - to record his voice. Owner/producerSam Phillipswas struck by the plaintive emotion in Presleys vocals and subsequently teamed him with guitaristScotty Mooreand bassist Bill Black. In July 1954 the trio worked up Thats All Right and Blue Moon of Kentucky - blues and country songs, respectively - in a crackling, uptempo style that stands as the blueprint for rock and roll. After five groundbreaking singles, Presleys contract was sold to RCA Records and his career quickly took off. I Forgot to Remember to Forget - his last single for Sun and first for RCA - went to #1 on the country charts. Heartbreak Hotel, a haunting ballad, became his first across-the-board hit, holding down the top spot for eight weeks. Presleys hip-shaking performances on a series of TV variety shows, including Ed Sullivans, generated hysteria and controversy. From blistering rockers to aching balladry, Presley captivated and liberated the teenage audience. His historic string of hits in 1956 and ?7 included Dont Be Cruel, Hound Dog, Love Me Tender, All Shook Up and Jailhouse Rock. Presleys career momentum was interrupted by a two-year Army stint in Germany, where he met his future wife, Priscilla. For much of the Sixties, he occupied himself with movie-making and soundtrack-recording. His albums of sacred songs, such as How Great Thou Art, stand out from this otherwise fallow period. Presleys standing as a rock and roller was rekindled with an electrifying TV special, simply titled Elvis and broadcast on December 3, 1968. He followed this mid-career renaissance with some of the most mature and satisfying work of his career. Recording in Memphis, he cut such classic tracks as In the Ghetto, Suspicious Minds and Kentucky Rain with the soulful, down-home musicians at American Studio. If the Fifties were devoted to rock and roll and the Sixties to movies, the Seventies represent the performing chapter in Presleys career. He toured constantly, performing to capacity crowds around the country until his death. Presley died of a heart attack at Graceland, his Memphis mansion, on August 16, 1977. He was 42 years old. How big was Elvis?Statistically, he holds records for the most Top Forty hits (107), the most Top Ten hits (38), the most consecutive #1 hits (10) and the most weeks at #1 (80). As far as his stature as a cultural icon, which continues to grow even in death, writer Lester Bangs said it best: I can guarantee you one thing - we will never again agree on anything as we agreed on Elvis. Inductee timeline January 8, 1935 Elvis Aron Presley is born to Gladys and Vernon Presley in a two-room cabin on North Saltillo Road in East Tupelo, Mississippi. SUMMER 1953 Elvis Presley stops at Memphis Recording Service to record two songs, My Happiness and Thats When Your Heartaches Begin, as a birthday present for his mother. Phillips notes that Presley has a good feel for ballads and should be invited back. July 18, 1953 Elvis Presley, then earning his keep as a truck driver, drops by the Memphis Recording Service, home of Sun Records. He privately records two songs (My Happiness/Thats When Your Heartaches Begin) for the sum of $4, leaving with a ten-inch acetate. Office manager Marion Keisker jots a note for ownerSam Phillips: Good ballad singer. January 4, 1954 A young Elvis Presley visits the Memphis Recording Service to record Casual Love Affair and Ill Never Stand in Your Way and meets Sun Records ownerSam Phillips. June 27, 1954 After several fruitless recording sessions,Sam Phillipspairs Elvis Presley with guitaristScotty Mooreand bass player Bill Black. He hopes the singer might find his voice by rehearsing with other musicians cut from the same country, pop, gospel and R&B cloth. July 5, 1954 Rock and roll history is made when Elvis Presley,Scotty Mooreand Bill Black spontaneously perform bluesman Arthur Big Boy Cruddups Thats All Right in romping, uptempo style. The next day, bluegrass pioneerBill Monroes Blue Moon of Kentucky is given a similarly playful treatment. On July 19th, the two songs are released as Elvis Presleys first single, which bears the legend Sun 209. July 19, 1954 Sun releases Thats All Right and Blue Moon of Kentucky by Elvis Presley, backed by guitaristScotty Mooreand bassist Bill Black. July 20, 1954 Elvis Presley makes his first public appearance, performing on a flatbed truck in Memphis. This inaugurates a period of wildly performed and riotously received concerts that will be interrupted only by Presleys induction into the U.S. Army. August 15, 1955 Elvis Presley signs a management contract with Colonel Tom Parker, whose other clients included country-music stars Eddy Arnold and Hank Snow. The relationship with Parker will continue till Presleys death. November 1, 1955 Despite Presleys growing popularity, his five Sun singles fail to make a dent on the national charts. Phillips sells his contract to RCA Records for $35,000. November 20, 1955 Elvis Presleys contract with Sun Records, including all previously released and recorded material, is sold to the New York-based RCA label for $35,000.January 27, 1956 Elvis Presleys debut single for RCA, Heartbreak Hotel, is released. The first of Presleys 17 Number One hits, it holds down the top spot for eight weeks.
