Period Three

Step 1 Pre-reading

1. Checking homework

1) T asks the question: Do you play any musical instrument? What is your favourite instrument? In this way, Ss review names of kinds of musical instrument.

2) T asks another question: Has anybody got any information about musical styles? Ss tell different kinds of music, such as blues\hip-hop\rap\Latin music etc.

Here is some information about music:

Music is a language that is spoken to everyone—from the day we are born we hear music of some kind of our lives. 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.

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: "presley's 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/producer sam phillips was struck by the plaintive emotion in presley's vocals and subsequently teamed him with guitarist scotty moore and bassist bill black. in july 1954 the trio worked up "that's 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, presley's 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. presley's hip-shaking performances on a series of tv variety shows, including ed sullivan's, 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 "don't be cruel," "hound dog," "love me tender," "all shook up" and "jailhouse rock."

presley's 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. presley's 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 presley's 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."

a short time.如果沒有她的幫助，警察不可能在這么短的時間內破了這個疑案。
