Unit 5

Without music, life is a journey through a desert. ----Pat Conroy Music is more than just sound. It is a way of thinking. When you listen to music, sing or play an instrument, you are also becoming better thinkers. You can learn English from songs too. While singing a song, you are learning English grammar and vocabulary.

Music appreciation When I was young I'd listen to the radio, Waiting for my favorite songs. When they played I'd sing along, It make me smile. Those were such happy times and not so long ago How I wondered where they'd gone. But they're back again just like a long lost friend, all the songs I love so well. Every shalalala every wo still shines. Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing so fine.

When they get to the part, Where he's breaking her heart, It can really make me cry, Just like before. It's yesterday once more. (shoobie do lang lang) Looking back on how it was in years gone by, And the good times that had, Made today seem rather sad, So much has changed. It was songs of love that I would sing to them, And I'd memorize each word. Those old melodies still sound so good to me, As they melt the years away.

Every shalalala every wo still shines. Every shing-a-ling-a-ling That they're starting to sing so fine. All my best memories come back clearly to me, Some can even make me cry, Just like before. It's yesterday once more. (shoobie do lang lang) Every shalala every wo still shines. Every shing-a-ling-a-ling That they're starting to sing so fine. Every shalala every wo still shines. Every shing-a-ling-a-ling That they're starting to sing so fine.

Do you often listen to music? What kind of effect does the music have on you?

Listening P69 What does the “Mozart effect” mean to you? Classical music, especially Mozart, helps improve your memory.

F F F F True or False T 1.Listening to classical music improves your memory. 2.The “Mozart effect” means listening to Mozart’s music. 3.To improve your long term memory you need to study maths. 4.Scientists think the “Mozart effect” works with all kinds of music. 5.Listening to music makes you more intelligent.

The “Mozart effect” Do you worry about exams? Of course, everyone does. Do you find it difficult to remember what you study? Well, everybody has trouble remembering things from time to time. Do you know music can help you remember things better? Scientists have shown that if you listen to classical music and especially Mozart while you are studying, it helps your memory. It is called the “Mozart effect”.

It would be useful to know if the “Mozart effect” works with all kinds of music. Certainly scientists have done some experiments to find out. They have tried playing other kinds of music (such as pop music) while students are studying, but it doesn’t work. It seems that the regular rhythms of classical music help develop one’s memory. However, this improvement only lasts for a short time.

If you want to improve your intelligence, what should you do? Scientists think that learning a musical instrument is helpful, especially for improving maths skills. This is because maths and music both use the same part of the brain. So if you want to be good at maths, perhaps you should go to a music class!
