I Оргмомент

Hello, dear students! Good afternoon, dear guests! I’m very glad to see you in a good mood, healthy and smart. Today at the lesson we are going to talk about different kinds of music, different singers. And the motto of our lesson is “Music is the soundtrack of our life!” I think, you agree with it. By the end of the lesson you’ll be able to prove it. Do you know how music appeared? There is a very interesting legend about it.

What is music? How did it appear? Who was the first to hear it? The Greek legend tells us that music appeared from nothing. A young girl named Evterpa was walking in the forest. She had a stick in her hand. Suddenly she heard the sounds of the wind in her stick. Since then Evterpa is the Muse of music. The stick she had became the flute. You can see her in the picture, holding her flute.

In the ancient times people met the music of nature. They heard the singing of birds, the roaring of animals, the sounds of a thunderstorm and the waterflow, the noise of the trees and the sea. Those sounds were everywhere, and people wanted to imitate them. Thus, the music was discovered.
