Unit 1 FriendshipListen to a passage about friendship and then finish the following tasks.Activity 1 After the first listening, decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).In a broad sense, friendship exists between all human beings even though some of them may never know each other all their lives. If you are a peasant, you grow crops and provide other people with food. So you are their friend. In return, they will provide you with farming tools and advanced technology. So they are also your friends. Your friendship makes your life possible and easier. Of course, friendship between familiar people is also important. When we are in trouble, we want other people to give us a hand; when we are upset, we need other people to give us comfort and encouragement. Friendship makes life more meaningful and beautiful. Real friendship stands the test of time and hardship.Activity 2 Listen to the passage again, and fill in the blanks.Unit 2 Pets and AnimalsListen to a passage about animal communication and then finish the following tasks.Activity 1 After the first listening, decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).How do animals communicate? Take dogs for example. They bare their teeth to warn, wag their tails to welcome and stand firm, with hair erect, to challenge. These signals are surely the canine equivalent of the human body-language of facial expressions, gestures and postures. Colors can be an important means of communication for animals. Many birds and fish change color, for example, to attract partners during the mating season. And mating itself is commonly preceded by a special dance in which both partners participate.Activity 2 Listen to the passage again, and fill in the blanks.Unit 3 CartoonsListen to a passage about Finding Nemo and then finish the following tasks.Activity 1 After the first listening, choose the best answer for each of the following questions.Disney’s cartoon, Finding Nemo, tells a touching story of a father called Martin and his son Nemo. Martin promises his dead wife that he will protect his young son at any cost. On his first day of school, Nemo and some friends swim to the edge of their coral reef. When Martin shouts atNemo to come back, Nemo refuses to listen to him and swim out to a boat in the distance. Suddenly, he gets caught by some divers. So begins Martin’s journey to find Nemo. Can Martin find his son before it is too late? Finding Nemo is a physical and mental journey. Martin overcomes his shyness and anxieties and Nemo discovers his own and his father’s hidden strengths. It celebrates the relationship between fathers and their sons.Activity 2 Listen to the passage again, and fill in the blanks.Unit 4 HonestyListen to a passage about honesty and then finish the following tasks.Activity 1 After the first listening, decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).Moral values in America are like those in any culture. In fact, many aspects of morality are universal. But the stories and traditions that teach them are unique to each culture. Besides, culture influences how people show these virtues.One of the most basic moral values for Americans is honesty. The well-known legend about George Washington and the cherry tree teaches this value clearly. Little George cut down his father’s favorite cherry tree while trying out his new hatchet. When his father asked him about it, George said, “I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my hatchet.” Instead of punishment, George received praise for telling the truth. Sometimes American honesty—being open and direct—can offend people. But Americans still believe that “honesty is the best policy”.Activity 2 Listen to the passage again, and fill in the blanks.Unit 5 Kindergarten TeachersListen to a passage about how to be a good kindergarten teacher and then finish the following tasks.Activity 1 After the first listening, decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).How to be a Good Kindergarten Teacher?Being a teacher is an honor profession. You will be an everlasting memory for your students. Kindergarten teachers play important role in children’s growth a nd development. In kindergarten, teacher is demanded to teach children good behavior and social interact, not only teach them basic skills for going to the next education.I want to be a good kindergarten teacher. Now I’m studying in a vocational school. I know I should always remember five important qualities: love, patience, caution, consideration and responsibility. I’m learning to provide children various activities, to stimulate their ideas and imagination by designing wonderful courses with different objectives. I love children very much.Unit 6 Art and MusicListen to a passage and then finish the following tasks.Activity 1 After the first listening, choose the best answer to each of the following questions.To me, life without music wouldn’t be exciting. I realize that this isn’t true for everybody. Many people get quite well without going to the concert, and listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone’s lif e, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings, the moving plot（情节）, and the greatest interests, be as exciting or dramatic（戏剧性）I’m not sure about it.Now we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning—the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we will discover them in our daily life too—in the rhythm（旋律）of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.I t is well said, “Through music a child enters into a world of beauty, expresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things along, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.”Activity 2 Listen to the passage again, and fill in the blanks.Unit 7 Toys and GamesListen to a passage and then finish the following tasks.Activity 1 After the first listening, decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).Building blocks（积木）are still one of the most popular traditional toys today. Their interesting design and easy use attract children of all ages. Most traditional toys, like building blocks, were first made of wood. Today, wooden building blocks are still used, but now there are several other types of building blocks to choose from, like plastic building blocks.Children build all kinds of things that they see in everyday life with building blocks. This gives them the chance to learn new things and life skills.Building blocks can help children to practice their language skills. Most children talk to each other as they build things with these traditional toys. This type of toy also helps develop the skills that children need in life. As they begin to join groups playing with building blocks, they learn to take turns, to share, and to solve problems with others. However, these are not the only advantages of playing with building blocks.Unit 8 SicenceListen to a passage and then finish the following tasks.Activity 1 After the first listening, decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).The Crow Drinks WaterIt does not rain in the summer this year. The river and the pond are dry. There is a crow flying to and fro to find water, but not even a drop is to be found.He takes a rest on a dead branch and feels very thirsty. The crow is thinking maybe he will die if water still cannot be found.He does not want to die in that way, so he goes on flying with the hope of finding some water.Suddenly, he sees something shining up ahead, and it is a bottle of water.The crow is excited, and he quickly flies to the bottle.He is disappointed after taking a look at the bottle because the bottle is only half-full with water, and the bottleneck is too narrow and small for his mouth to reach into it.“What shall I do?” The crow thinks about the problem over and over, and then he sees lots of tiny stones on the ground.A good idea finally comes into his mind! He throws those tiny stones into the bottle, and the water begins to rise higher and higher. Finally, he is able to drink it with happiness!Activity 2 Listen to the passage again, and fill in the blanks.Unit 9 Self-esteemListen to a passage and then finish the following tasks.Activity 1 After the first listening, decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).Good self-esteem is essential to a child’s development. It is the foundation of everything they do, everything they are—it is the foundation of their future!If a child appears to be happy going about their tasks, confident, prepared to take risks and comfortable in mixing with other children you could say they have high self-esteem. In normal circumstances nothing is going to disturb them. These behaviors will be consistent for most of the time. An atmosphere of praise and encouragement needs to prevail if those who are not sure of themselves are to flourish. Staff need to be vigilant from the beginning so that their every intervention is good for the child’s self-esteem. Notice and comment on every small step ofprogress. What is simple for one child may take a leap of courage for another.Activity 2 Listen to the passage again, and fill in the blanks.Unit 10 IQ-EQListen to a passage and then finish the following tasks.Activity 1 After the first listening, decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).You are Special and ValuableI will never forget the lesson which Mr. Smith gave us.

Then he said, “I am going to give this $ 100 to one of you, but first let me do this.” He then m ade the bill into a ball and said; “Who wants it now?” We raised our hands again. But he said: “Wait a moment.” He then dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. After that, he picked up the dirty bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Many hands were still up.“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value. It was still worth $100.“We always lose many chances we take in our lives. “He went on speaking, “We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn’t come from what you do or who you know, but WHO YOU ARE.”“You are special and valuable. Don’t ever forget it!”Activity 2 Listen to the passage again, and fill in the blanks.。

音乐英语知识点总结归纳

音乐英语知识点总结归纳1. Notes and ScalesNotes are the building blocks of music. In Western music, there are 12 different notes in an octave: A, A#/Bb, B, C, C#/Db, D, D#/Eb, E, F, F#/Gb, G, and G#/Ab. These notes can be further divided into whole and half steps to create scales. The most common scale in Western music is the major scale, which consists of whole and half steps in a specific pattern (W-W-H-W-W-W-H).2. ChordsChords are formed by stacking different notes on top of each other. The most basic chord is the triad, which consists of three notes: the root, the third, and the fifth. There are also different types of chords, such as major chords, minor chords, diminished chords, and augmented chords, which are created by altering the intervals between the notes.3. RhythmRhythm is the pattern of sounds and silences in music. It is created by the combination of different note durations, such as whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes, and sixteenth notes. The rhythmic pattern is organized into measures, with a specific number of beats per measure, determined by the time signature.4. MelodyMelody is the sequence of notes that form the main theme or the tune of a piece of music. It is the most recognizable and memorable part of a song. Melodies are created by combining different pitches and rhythms to create a cohesive and expressive musical line.5. HarmonyHarmony refers to the simultaneous sounding of different notes to create a chord or a chord progression. It provides the background support for the melody and adds depth and richness to the music. Harmonization can be achieved through different techniques, such as parallel harmony, contrary motion, and voice leading.6. Musical FormMusical form refers to the overall structure of a piece of music. It is the organization of different sections, such as verses, choruses, bridges, and codas, into a cohesive and meaningful whole. Common musical forms include binary form, ternary form, rondo form, and sonata-allegro form.7. Dynamics and ArticulationDynamics refer to the volume or intensity of the music, ranging from pianissimo (very soft) to fortissimo (very loud). Articulation, on the other hand, refers to how the notes are played,such as staccato (short and detached) or legato (smooth and connected). Both dynamics and articulation are essential in conveying the emotions and nuances of the music.8. Music TheoryMusic theory is the study of the fundamental elements of music, such as pitch, rhythm, harmony, and form. It provides a framework for understanding and analyzing musical compositions. Key concepts in music theory include intervals, keys and key signatures, modes, chord progressions, and cadences.9. Musical InstrumentsThere are various types of musical instruments, each with its own unique sound and playing technique. They can be broadly categorized into strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and keyboards. Understanding the characteristics and capabilities of different instruments is crucial for composing and arranging music.10. Genres and StylesMusic is a diverse art form, with countless genres and styles that reflect different cultures, traditions, and historical periods. Some common musical genres include classical, jazz, pop, rock, blues, country, folk, and electronic music. Each genre has its own characteristics, instrumentation, and stylistic elements.In conclusion, music is a complex and rich art form that encompasses a wide range of elements and concepts. By understanding the fundamental knowledge points in music, one can develop a deeper appreciation and comprehension of this universal language. Whether you are a musician, a music lover, or simply curious about music, these key concepts provide a solid foundation for exploration and learning.。

乐理教室介绍语录英文作文

乐理教室介绍语录英文作文英文：As someone who has been teaching music theory for years, I can confidently say that the music classroom is a placeof endless possibilities. It's a place where students can learn the building blocks of music, from the basics of rhythm and melody to the complexities of harmony and counterpoint. But more than that, it's a place where students can learn to express themselves through music, to explore their creativity and to develop their own unique voice.At the music classroom, we use a variety of methods to help students develop their skills and understanding of music. We use textbooks and workbooks, but we also use interactive tools like music software and games. We listento recordings and watch videos of performances to help students understand the nuances of different styles and genres of music. And of course, we also play instrumentsand sing, both individually and as part of ensembles.One of the things I love most about teaching music theory is seeing the progress that students make over time. I've had students who came to me with no prior musical experience, and within a few months, they were able to read sheet music, play simple songs on the piano, and even write their own music. It's incredibly rewarding to see the joy and sense of accomplishment that music can bring topeople's lives.中文：作为一名多年教授音乐理论的人，我可以自信地说，音乐教室是一个无限可能的地方。

英语歌abcdefg -回复Title: "Exploring the Melodic Journey: From 'abcdefg' to the Power of Music"Introduction:Music, a universal language that transcends boundaries, has the extraordinary ability to evoke emotions, transport us to different realms, and connect individuals across cultures and generations. 'abcdefg', the sequence of letters that forms the fundamental building blocks of a melody, serves as a perfect analogy for the intricate components that ultimately culminate in a powerful piece of music. In this article, we will embark on a captivating journey to understand how these letters represent the various elements of music, symbolizing the transformative power of musical expression.1. A - Ambiance of Sound:In its essence, music is an art form that weaves a rich tapestry of sounds. 'A' represents the ambiance of sound that sets the stage for any musical composition. It encompasses the choice ofinstruments, timbre, and tonality, as well as the expertise of composers and performers.2. B - Beats and Rhythm:The foundation of music lies in its rhythmic structure, portrayed by 'B'. The beats, the underlying pulse, and the patterns created by these rhythmic elements contribute to the overall sensation one experiences when listening to music. From the steady heartbeat of a drum to the gentle sway of a waltz, rhythm shapes the way we connect with and interpret melodies.3. C - Contextual Interpretation:Music, much like language, thrives in context. 'C' symbolizes the multifaceted aspects of music, specifically its ability to convey various meanings depending on the listener's interpretation. Whether it speaks of love, pain, or joy, music holds a mirror to human experiences and emotions, providing solace, motivation, or comfort during times of both celebration and struggle.4. D - Dynamics and Emotional Intensity:'D' encapsulates the concept of dynamics – the contrasting volumes, subtle nuances, and emotional intensity that can be achieved within a piece of music. As music oscillates between crescendos and diminuendos, it captivates our souls, awakens our senses, and intensifies our emotional responses.5. E - Evolution and Creativity:At the core of music lies evolution and creativity. 'E' represents the ever-changing nature of music, as artists continuously reinvent established genres and experiment with new forms. By pushing boundaries, exploring uncharted territories, and expressing themselves authentically, musicians breathe life into the melodies they create, taking us on an unparalleled journey of self-discovery and artistic growth.6. F - Form and Structure:Music, like any masterpiece, possesses a distinct form and structure, denoted by 'F'. From the well-defined framework of classical symphonies to the free-flowing nature of jazz improvisation, the organization of musical elements contributes tothe overall coherence and impact of a composition.7. G - Greatness and Global Reach:The final letter of our journey, 'G', encompasses the greatness of music and its ability to reach and unite people from all corners of the globe. Whether through live performances, recorded albums, or digital platforms, music has the remarkable power to bridge diverse cultures, languages, and identities, fostering a sense of interconnectedness that transcends borders and unifies humanity.Conclusion:From the intricate melodies created by combining the letters'abcdefg', we have gained a deeper understanding of the multifaceted aspects that underpin the phenomengon of music.

At the age of 15 he gave his first solo piano performance.Brahms, throughout his career, made lasting friends with many of the leading musicians and composers of the time including Robert and Clara Schumann, Franz Liszt and Joseph Joachim.Brahms was a conductor, composer, pianist and scholar of music, longing for social respectability while largely devoted to composing new works.His choral works, chamber music and symphonies today are major works in the classical repertoire. His Handel Variations, German Requiem, Violin Concerto, Double Concerto and his numerous symphonies are played today as inspirational and seminal works.He died in Vienna, which he made his home, in 1897.ABOUT THE MUSIC:Hungarian Dance No. 5 is the most famous and recognized of Brahms twenty-one lively and rhythmic dance tunes. Brahms based these compositions on folk songs and music he had heardamong the people of remote and far flung villages and outposts.Brahms originally wrote this collection of dances for four-handed piano and later adapted some for full orchestra.Listen for the joyous and party-like rhythms. Imagine the colorful clothes and people enjoying music, dance and their community.Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart(1756 - 1791)ABOUT THE COMPOSER:Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of our most important composers, was born in Salzburg, Austria in 1756. He soon demonstrated his remarkable musical gifts as a child. At the age of five and six he was performing for Austrian royalty. He toured through Europe astonishing audiences with his technical proficiency on the piano and as a composer. Before he was ten years old, he had become an international music star, published music, written operas and was in great demand wherever he went. Mozart's prolific output of music included symphonies, piano concertos, and operas. Haydn, the great composer and teacher called Mozart "the greatest composer known to me in person or by name; he has taste and, what is more, the greatest knowledge of composition."Mozart eventually moved to Vienna where he lived the rest of his life. There, he continued his composition and performing. His last works include a clarinet concerto, his final four symphonies and his unfinished "Requiem". Mozart died in 1791, at the age of 35 and wasin 1891. He died in 1893.An overture is a musical introduction to an opera or musical theatre. It often includes the most important and memorable parts of the entire piece.Cosi Fan Tutte Overture was first performed in 1787, but the response was not what Mozart had hoped for. The public adoration for this work would come later. And today it is one of the most recognized of all operatic works!The story of the opera is based on ancient tales and legends about relationships, loyalty and jealousy. The music includes beautiful and inspirational melodies and arias that are often the favorite tunes of opera fans. The music is lush and large and emotional and colorful. Listen for the wonderful melodies and tunes that we can walk out of the concert hall humming to ourselves.Felix Mendelssohn(1809- 1847)ABOUT THE COMPOSER:Felix Mendelssohn was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1809. He was born into a noted and prosperous family of business and religious leaders. His family converted from Judaism to the Lutheran church in order to gain more social acceptance.Mendelssohn was a prolific and creative composer. His "Wedding March" from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is one of the most famous tunes from the classical repertoire, leading many a bride down the wedding aisle.Felix was a gifted young man, playing piano and violin. He traveled to Paris to study with Mozart, Bach and others. He composed eleven symphonies, five operas and many other chamber, piano and choral works.His musical life was filled with accomplishment and he is considered one of the great composers of the entire 19th century.The music was composed based upon Shakespeare's romantic comedy. The story portrays the adventures of young lovers, royalty and the fairies who inhabit a moonlit forest.The scherzo section of this famous work introduces the fairy-world and moonlit forest of the story with fast moving musical passages for the woodwinds.Listen for the exciting and humorous melodies depicting comedy, romance and surprise. Most of all listen for the fast moving rhythms and how the speed (tempo) changes to help tell the musical story.Ludwig van Beethoven(1770-1827)ABOUT THE COMPOSER::Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn in 1770. As a music prodigy he first studied with his father Johann and by the age of 11 had published his first music.A student of Haydn, Salieri and others, he had his public debut in 1795. As a pianist, he was said to have great fire and brilliance. Writing for his own instrument, the piano, he was at his most original in this period including the "Pathetique" and "Moonlight Sonata". These years also saw the composition of his first three piano concertos, his first two symphonies and a set of six string quartets.It was in 1802 that he began to recognize his impending hearing loss and deafness. It caused a tremendous crisis in his confidence and faith. Yet, he came through this dark period to create his great, "heroic" works including The Eroica Symphony (No. 3), Symphony No. 5, string quartets and his opera Fidelio.The years after 1812 were largely less productive. Yet, his reputation went far beyond Vienna. When he died in early 1827, ten thousand people are said to have attended the funeral. He had become a public figure, as no composer had done before. Unlike composers of the preceding generation, he had never been nobility's "property" and had lived into the time of the artist as public figure and "star" and the property of all.ABOUT THE MUSIC:Symphony No. 9 (Excerpt from the Fourth Movement) contains one of the most famous musical phrases or tunes of all time! This symphony is also considered by many to be one of the greatest pieces of art ever created.And when Beethoven wrote this most famous of work he was already completely deaf.We hear this music in movies, comedy and TV. This work, based on the melody "Ode to Joy" is, in essence, the development of that melody into a full and far ranging sonic experience.Listen for the melody and how it is developed, expanded and grown into one of the most important musical pieces ever.Joseph Haydn(1732-1809)ABOUT THE COMPOSER::Joseph Haydn was born in the village of Rohrau, Austria in 1732. The son of folk musicians, he was soon noted for his musical talents and sent to study in nearby towns and cities.When Haydn was only 17 he began a freelance musical career teaching, street singing and acting as a valet to professional composers and musicians. He learned his craft well.He created hundreds of works and is considered so important in the creation of symphonic and classical music that he is affectionately called "Papa Haydn".A life-long citizen and resident of Austria, Haydn spent most of his career as a court musician and composer for the Esterhazy family on a remote estate. He often said the isolation "forced him to become original."ABOUT THE MUSIC:Symphony No. 94 ("Surprise") Second Movement was written by Haydn for a visit to London, England. The piece is renowned for its "surprise" - a very loud outburst of sound followed by a equally loud percussion of the drum.Haydn creates his surprise by relaxing the audience with soft and sailing strings. And then.......Listen for this surprise and how Haydn sets up our ears and heart for the shocking sounds.Aaron Copland(1900-1990)ABOUT THE COMPOSER::Aaron Copland was an American composer famous for his iconic American works including Billy the Kid, Rodeo and Appalachian Spring.Known as "the dean of American composers" he created a unique balance between American folk music and the classical orchestra.Born in Brooklyn to immigrant Russian Jewish parents he pursued music on his own and by the age of 15 was studying composition and piano.Copland cared about social justice and often incorporated the ideas and feelings of "common folk". His Fanfare for the Common Man is such a work where he took the traditional form of fanfare reserved for royalty and provided it instead to the rest of us.ABOUT THE MUSIC:Variations on a Shaker Theme is based upon an old Shaker folk song called "Simple Gifts." It is indeed a simple song that Copland first adapted into a song and then composed as a larger work for Martha Graham's ballet Appalachian Spring.Listen for the simple, song-like lilt of the tune and how the composer works together the rhythms, melodies and harmonies to a very pleasing whole.Lesson Plan #1ALL TOGETHER NOWObjective: Students will learn about parts of a whole through the construction of music and identification of its rhythm, melody and harmony parts.Standards:6.0Students will listen to, analyze, and describe musicMusicStudents will evaluate music and music performances7.0MusicStudents will understand music in relation to history and cultureMusic9.0Time of Lesson: one 40-minute sessionSubject Areas: Social Studies, Language Arts, Music, ArtCore Curriculum Concepts: Listening, Comparing and Contrasting, Parts of a WholeArts Concepts: Rhythm, Melody and HarmonyMaterials:-paper and crayons or markers-paper and pen-Nashville Symphony Study CDTeaching Strategies:-Discuss with students how many things around us are a whole with numerous parts.Give examples (stories, days, the human body, pizzas and virtually everything!)-Ask students for other examples.
