What is your favorite kind of music?Do you like jazz, popular music, classical music, folk songs, blues, and so on?In high school I took one course called music appreciation which I greatly enjoyed.This was not to learn how to play a specific instrument but to learn how to read and listen to music as an art form.We read the stories about the lives of many composers and the history of the musical instruments themselves.Sometimes we listened to tapes at the language laboratory, or concerts.Music is sometimes called a universal language.A composer who cannot speak a single word of our language can make us feel joy and pride, exaltation and despair, peace and mystery through his music.
你最喜歡什么樣的音樂(lè)呢?你喜歡爵士,流行音樂(lè),古典音樂(lè),民歌,布魯斯藍(lán)調(diào)?高中時(shí),我參加了一個(gè)叫音樂(lè)賞析的課程,我很喜歡它。那并不是學(xué)習(xí)如何去玩一種特殊的樂(lè)器,而是以藝術(shù)的形式來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)閱讀和聆聽(tīng)音樂(lè)。我們閱讀許多作曲家的生活故事以及樂(lè)器本身的歷史。有時(shí)我們?cè)谡Z(yǔ)言實(shí)驗(yàn)室聽(tīng)磁帶,或去聽(tīng)音樂(lè)會(huì)。有時(shí)候音樂(lè)被稱為是通俗的語(yǔ)言。一個(gè)作曲家可以通過(guò)音樂(lè)用我們的語(yǔ)言說(shuō)一個(gè)字就能讓我們感到開(kāi)心、自豪、欣喜、絕望、平靜和迷惑。
