Jerome Kern is often called the father of American musical theater.Kern is remembered for the hundreds of songs he wrote for musical plays and movies.Music historians say that Kern gave artistic importance to American popular music for the first time.And he led the development of the first truly American theater music.

Jerome Kern was born into a middle-class family in New York City in1885.Jerome's mother,Fanny,loved the piano.She began to teach Jerome how to play when he was very young. He became a fair piano player but not so good that anyone expected him to become a great musician.

Jerome was a quiet boy and not a top student.When he completed high school,his father said he would have to work in the family's store.Mister Kern said his son could never make money writing music.But he later came to believe that Jerome might do better in music than in business after all.So he let the boy go to Europe,as almost all serious young musicians did at the time.

Jerome Kern began his career as a songwriter in theaters in London and New York City. Success came quickly.By the early1920s,Kern was a successful young composer for Broadway musical comedies.In one three-year period alone,he wrote music for nineteen shows.Other people wrote the words for Kern's songs.Kern wrote only the music.And he worked with each song until he was satisfied that the music was perfect.

Although Kern's songs are easy to remember after hearing a few times,they are not simple. An example of his inventiveness is the song"All the Things You Are."Several composers say they consider it the greatest song ever written.Singers continue to like Kern songs because they can be sung in many different ways.The melody(旋律)remains the same,b ut different singers can change the feeling of the song completely.

4.What about Jerome Kern when he was a child?
