RECAP
LESSON
Musicians through their songs, are powerful carriers of influence. The sound
and messages they release through their art directly impact their listeners in
powerful ways. This is especially true of the youth and adolescents of our society.
One of the great singers who made the best music of his time that has a huge
influence in our society is John Lennon. His song “Imagine” asks listeners to envision
a world of peace and unity and remains one of the most well-known and respected
songs worldwide.
• John wrote his first song "Hello Little Girl" at the age of 18 and
continued writing music his whole life.
• He is a member of the Beatles, the most successful band in the
history.
• John mainly wrote songs that fall under the rock/soft rock and pop
category
• The topics that are mainly covered in his songs are about world peace,
love, and personal issues
• John grew interested in these moral issues based on personal
experiences he went through like getting a divorce, experimentation
with drugs and meeting Yoko Ono who changed his life.
Imagine
John Lennon
The title of this song "Imagine" flows smoothly with the lyrics perfectly.

why they’re saying it. Then, once the listener feels they understand the

WRAP-UP
Listening skills allow one to make sense of, assess and respond to what
another person is saying. In other words, listening skills allow people to
understand what someone is talking about and the meaning behind the
words.
In order to understand, interpret, and assess what you hear and to
formulate appropriate reactions or responses, critical listening is very
important. Effective listening can be learned with practice but is not
necessarily easy to do.
Understanding the three modes of effective listening will help you
improve your listening accuracy and increase the opportunity to validate your
judgment and reaction especially on critical issues that can help you make
sound analysis and carry out proper actions.
A. Attentive Listening
Attentive listeners focus on the speaker and work hard to eliminate
distractions. They are also patient and let the speaker finish their thoughts
without interruption. While not easy, attentive listening is essential for
effective communication.
B. Responsive Listening
Responsive listeners demonstrate to the speaker that they are listening
and understanding what is being said, which encourages the speaker to
continue. Encouraging responses may include both nonverbal and verbal
cues.
C. Active Listening
Active listening is probably the most important listening skill. It is
“active” because it combines the skills of listening and responding without
invalidating the speaker’s comments, giving the speaker personal opinions,
advice.
