Music 8th Form

It is difficult to speak about music in general, because it will

either take a lot of time or just one sentence to explain our attitude.
My favourite music style is rock. I think it is awesome. I am really
into it! When I go to bed I listen to rock because it relaxes me and makes
me fall asleep faster. At the same time I can’t stand heavy metal. It is
awful! The melody is hidden behind men screaming and acting like
crazy frogs. Guitar solos can be good but you can’t hear them. Actually I
enjoy listening any music that sounds good to my ears – pop, hip-hop,
R&B, jazz.
The last concert I went to was a jazz performance. There were five
people in the group playing the guitar, the contrabass, the saxophone, the
piano and the drums. The drummer was also a singer. The stage was
well lit and looked very attractive. I really enjoyed the deep sound of a
big old dark brown contrabass. It was so much drive on the whole!
I can’t help saying at least some words about musicians I consider
the icons of music – the Beatles. They were John Lennon, Paul
McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. They were from
Liverpool, the UK. They made their first record in 1962 and in two years
they became the most famous group in the world. Teenagers and their
parents, everyone seemed to get crazy about the Beatles music, clothes,
hair style, even the way they talked. The musicians liked to experiment
with the sound and they recorded hundreds of great songs full of new
kind of energy. After John Lennon was shot dead in a street in New
York in 1980, the Beatles couldn’t play together again but they are still
one of the most popular groups among people of all ages.
