How important is music? When they are asked this question, students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often considered only as fun, but it’s not chosen firstly for education. This opinion is shortsighted. In fact, music education is necessary and important for all.

Music tells us who we are. Music shows people’s thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Just as Mozart’s music represents a lifestyle, rock music also represents a lifestyle.

Music provides a kind of ability for people to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music studies the emotive(情感的) meanings. We need every possible way to discover and respond(回应) to our world because no one way can get it all.

Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. It is a way we human beings “talk” to each other. Through the language we express our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take away the meanings that music expresses. Science does not tell us what it means to be humans. Music does.

So music education is much more necessary than people generally realize.

Computers are very important  to modern life. Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.

Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.

Let’s look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(计算机化) books will be used more and more.

Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go in to shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers won’t change these two habits.

Music has always been an important part of Chinese people’s life. People enjoy listening to music at home and in concerts halls. As time goes by，　 music changes.

Traditional music is part of our culture， so it often stays with us for a long time. Many of the traditional Chinese songs have been around for many years. Young musicians learn songs from older musicians and the music changes only very little. Modern Chinese music， which is loved by many young people， however， is mainly pop music. That means the songs will be popular for a short time and then replaced by new songs. Today’s musicians write new songs every year and we hear new songs on the radio every day.

Before radio and TV were invented， music could only be heard live — that is you had to go places where musicians gave performances. The best musicians were very busy， so it was difficult and often expensive to hear really good music. For most people， the best chance to hear good music was during a festival or at a wedding. Today， people hear music all the time. Radio and TV play songs every day and night and you can even hear music played on the street.

One thing that hasn’t changed very much is what the songs are about. Both modern and traditional Chinese songs are about love and life. Some songs tell stories about past and some are about the news or the future. All of the songs have something to do with what it means to be a human being.

Music， traditional or modern， Chinese or international， seems to be a world language that everybody can understand and enjoy. Music changes and styles come and go， but nothing changes our love for good music.

Music changes as1.goes by

Music is part of every culture on Earth. Many people feel that music makes life worth living. We can make music ourselves if we play an instrument(乐器) or sing. We can hear music on CDs or tapes, on radio or television and even on the Internet.

　　　　 Music gives us pleasure. It can cheer us up, or excite us. Music can make us feel happy, sad, excited or calm-all kinds of feelings. But what is it? Some people describe it as an artful form of sounds across time. These sounds might be loud or soft, high or low, quick and short, or slow and long. The sounds need to keep on for some time in some kinds of forms to become music.

　　　　 Music, like language, is a special human form of communication. Also like language, there are many different kinds. In North America, people listen to jazz, rock, classical, folk, country, and many other kinds of music. Each kind of music has its own rules and “speaks” to us in its own way. What we think of music depends on where we live. What Americans are used to listening to might sound strange to someone from another culture. It might not even sound like music. And also you can find that every country has its own typical instruments to show their traditional music. Today, modern communications make it possible for us to listen to music from all over the world. In this way music from one part of the world could influence music from another part.

　　　　 Music goes along with many of our activities. We dance to music. We sing songs at school. Many of us exercise to music. We hear music in cars and stores. Music comes with many important moments. Music pleases us. We listen to slow music, spiritual music, pop music, rock music, and opera. We have favorite performers. We hear music as the background in　 movies. Perhaps we go to the theater to see a musical movie---play with music, singing, and often with dancing. Music is part of our lives.
