Комплексное решение практических, образовательных, воспитательных и развивающих задач обучения возможно лишь при условии воздействия не только на сознание учащихся, но и проникновения в их эмоциональную сферу.
Одним из наиболее эффективных способов воздействия на чувства и эмоции школьников является музыка, представляющая собой “ сильнейший психический побудитель, в подспудные глубины сознания ” (см.Леви В. Вопросы психобиологии музыки.) Известный педагог Ян Амос Коменский писал, что тот, кто не знает музыки, уподобляется не знающему грамоты.

Suddenly,
I’m not half the man I used to be,
There’s shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go I don’t know, she wouldn’t say,
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Why she had to go I don’t know, she wouldn’t say,
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

YELLOW SUBMARINE
In the town where I was born lived a man who sailed the sea
And he told us of his life in the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun till we found the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves in our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
And our friends are all on board,
Many more of them live next door,
And the band begins to play
We all live in a yellow submarine
And we live a life of ease,
Everyone of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green in our yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine.

PAUL McCARTNEY
At the end of 1999,Paul McCartney was performing rock’ n’ roll songs at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, the industrial city in the north of England where he first became famous. Only 300 invited guests were able to see him at the Cavern, but three million watched the concert via the Internet.
He was an ordinary teenager of seventeen when in 1957 he met John Lennon, who was two years older.
They both loved rock’ n’ roll. Three years later, with two other young musicians, they formed The Beatles. The group played in Liverpool, then went on to tour in Hamburg, Germany. Soon the four Beatles with their unusual hair styles were famous. In 1962 everyone was singing Love Me Do and the following year, She Loves You, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Lennon and McCartney were the group’s songwriters and they played guitars, together with George Harrison. Ringo Starr was the drummer.
Their music was new and enormously popular. They were stars, with millions of fans all over the world. When they arrived at Kennedy Airport to begin a tour of the United States in 1964, more than three thousand teenagers were waiting for them, screaming and crying in delight. Throughout the 1960s they went on making hits. In 1967, when the recording of All You Need is Love was transmitted worldwide as part of the first global TV link ‘Our World’. 400 million people were watching. In 1969 they made Abbey Road but the following year The Beatles broke up. Lennon went on writing. He wrote peace songs like Imagine and Give Peace a Chance. In 1980, tragically, he was murdered.
Paul McCarney’s name and fame continued to grow with his new group, Wings. His 1977 song Mull of Kintyre became the biggest-selling British single. In 1990 he performed in Rio de Janeiro in front of the largest paying audience of all time.
The Beatles revolutionized pop music. More than thirty years later in the Cavern Club, Paul McCartney was remembering those exciting early days.
