The History of Sound Recording
An American called Thomas Alva Edison was the first man to record sound. In 1878 he invented a machine called a phonograph. The phonograph was a bit like a record player, but it used metal cylinders instead of discs (records) appeared ten years later.
Tape records first appeared in the 1930s, but they were large and expensive. Then, in 1963, the Philips Company developed the first cassette.
Cassettes are still very popular all over the world. But when you go into a music shop today, you don’t just see records and cassettes. There are CDs too, and DAT (digital audio tape) cassettes, and even video discs. The choice is amazing!

11. T: So if you want to buy a cassette, a record or other products of this kind you go to a music shop. Imagine that you are in a music shop. (Разыгрывание диалога) [2]

Assistant: Record or cassette then?

Assistant: They’re both Ј 8.99.
Susan: I’ll have the cassette, please.
Assistant: OK. Would you like a bag?
Susan: No, I’ve already got one, thanks.
12. T: This girl has bought a cassette with the songs of the group “Red Alert”. If I’m not mistaken it’s a rock-group. But do you know the history of rock-music? Some students in your class are ready to speak about it. (Учащиеся рассказывают об истории рок-музыки). [5]
In the fifties in pop music of the USA rock’n’roll appeared. It was based on the Afro-American style rhythm and blues. But many people in the USA and even state authorities began to fight against rock’n’roll. Many senators, priests, public figures and teachers were against the new style of music because they didn’t want the white young people to mix with the black ones.
One of the pioneers of rock’n’roll was a young talented lorry-driver from Memphis Elvis Presley. His family wasn’t rich and he never learned to play a musical instrument. But he had a charming voice and a nice manner of singing. He gave many concerts, made a lot of long-playing records which were sold out very quickly, took part in TV and radio shows. He became very popular and very rich.
We have all grounds to say that Elvis Presley is considered to be the king of rock’n’roll.
Let’s listen to one of his songs.
At the end of the fifties - at the beginning of the sixties rock’n’roll became the phenomenon of mass culture. Many businessmen did their best to draw people’s attention to this kind of music: it was broadcasted over the radio, TV; a lot of new records of different singers were made. At first rock’n’roll music was about the youth’s problems but then the singers began to sing about love and everyday life. And a new type of music appeared on the basis of rock’n’roll. It was pop, a typical example of mass culture.
Meanwhile in Britain a new musical style was formed. It was called “British rock” or simply ”beat”.
Speaking about British beat-music we can’t but mention the city of Liverpool. Beat-music was called “Mersey-beat” there. The most typical example of Mersey-beat is the famous group “The Beatles”.
The Beatles, the first really important British pop group was formed by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. They came from Liverpool, a town in the north of England. The Beatles had their first hit record in 1962. They gave concerts in Germany and America where they had even greater success.
After 1965 the Beatles worked mostly on films and albums (long-playing records).In the sixties they created successful records and interesting films. The Beatles were very popular especially with the youth. Beatlemania was the word used to describe the reaction of fans all over the world.
In 1970 the group split up. Yet Lennon and McCartney– and the Beatles ? produced some of the most famous pop songs ever.
Let’s sing the song “Yesterday”.
The years of 1967 – 1968 were the flourishing years for rock music. A great role in it was played by the “underground”, an informal unity of actors, musicians, writers, artists. At that time there were such underground groups as “Pink Floyd”, “Soft Machine”, “Purple Gang” and others.
A typical rock-group had the following set of instruments: one or two electric guitars, a bass guitar and the drums. One of the main characteristic features of a rock-group is that the texts and music of the songs were composed by the members of the group.
There is no denying the fact that jazz and classical music greatly influenced rock music. Some rock musicians composed music to be played by a rock-group together with the symphony orchestra. Such a style of music was called art-rock. One of the groups that had the experience of performing music together with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was “Deep Purple”.
Now listen to the song of this group.
In the seventies teenagers lost their interest in rock-music and were carried away by music of the disco-style. No doubt you’ve heard the names of such groups as “Boney M”, “ABBA”, and many others.
Let's listen to a piece of music of this style.
Then at the end of the seventies young people became interested in the new style of hard rock which was called “heavy metal”. The musicians behaved very strangely on the stage: they jumped, ran, moved their bodies and did other strange things.
It should be taken into account that in the 1980s and 1990s young people got interested in the new rock culture. It was electronic rock and pop music. The representatives of this style performed rather professional and serious music. We can mention such groups as “The Human League”, “Depeche Mode” and others. There is no denying the fact that the appearance of video music contributed much to the spreading of this kind of music.
To finish all up I must say that there are many musicians and singers who have been popular with different people both young and not so young for many years. Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, “The Rolling Stones”, “Status Quo”, “U-2” and many others are among them.
13. T: Thank you very much for your stories.
Everybody has his own favourite singer. Let’s play the game “Guess my favourite singer”. (Режим Cl>P1). Учащиеся задают вопросы такого типа:
Is this a man or a woman? When and where was he (she) born? What country does he (she) live in? Etc.
14. T: At our lessons we often sing songs and of course you know many of them. Now I’m going to describe some songs and your task is to guess them.
- This song is about a boy who has found a good wife for himself. But she’s a young thing and cannot leave her mother. (“Billy Boy”)
- In this song the young man is sad because he has parted with his girl-friend last night. And now he is long for that. (“Yesterday”)
- The next song tells us about a man who had two daughters. His elder daughter is the main character of the song. But one day she fell into the river and was drowned. (“Clementine”)
- This song is based on the Bible. The event took place in the desert in one of the African countries. (“Go down, Moses”)
- The fifth song tells about a woman who helps us in different difficult situations in our lives. The Beatles performed this song. (“Let it be”)
- In this song a girl tells us about her love for music. When she starts to sing everybody listens to her. She thanks music because she can’t live without it. (“Thank you for the music”)
15. T: I think you agree that we can’t live without music and it helps us in various situations in our life. People are happy because they have music. Let’s finish our lesson with the song of the Swedish group “ABBA”- “Thank you for the music”
