In the 1960s, the Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world. Since then, there
have been many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it are perhaps difficult now to imagine why
sensational the Beatles were at the time. They were four boys from the north of English and none of them
had any training in Music. They starting by performing and recording songs by black Americans and they
having some success with these songs. Then them started writing their own songs and that was when they
become really popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great
success songs they have written to write their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first
hits record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it
had become to dangerous for them-their fan were so excited that they surrounded team and tried to taking
their clothes as souvenirs! However, today some of their songs remain so famous as they were when they
first came out. Throughout the world, many people can sing part of a Beatles song if you ask them.

Index: 2 Folk music
Like other folk arts, folk music has been passed on primarily by word of mouth. Because it is not fixed in writing, folk
music is free to change as it travels from person to person, generation to generation, and even country to country. A
folk-music tradition is the characteristic expression of a group or community of people. Folk-music traditions tend to
have long histories, even though new song and tunes are always being added and old ones dropped. Folk music thus
has the unique quality of being both old and new at the same time.
Question:

Music plays an important role in our daily lives. It would be impossible for a day to go by without music. Music
serves many functions within our society: it is used to entertain, relax, motivate, persuade, teach, treat diseases,
unite, promote, patriotism, and so on.
Advertisers are fully aware of the role music can play in entering the mind of the consumer. For example, the most
effective way to aid the memory of the consumer is to accompany an advertisement with an interesting song. Once
the customer likes that song, he might remember the brand name of the advertised product as well and he will choose
that product while standing in front of a shelf full of goods of different brand names.
Music on special occasions is essential. At the Olympic sports events, it is interesting to observe how music is played.
Entertainment is an obvious function, but further, music at such events helps create an exciting atmosphere. The use
of natural anthems is to promote the feeling of patriotism, but encouraging athletes to make greater efforts.
Music can also be used as a means of treating patients. It soothes the nerves of patients with mental disorder. For
those with visual impairment, playing music is one way to help them open their hearts to the outside world.
Obviously, music has a profound and powerful impact on our lives

Music, which plays an indispensable part in human life and is loved by almost everyone, is an arrangement of sounds
that are played on instruments and/or sung. Different people, however, will prefer different kinds of music. Classical
music is mainly for a learned and serious audience. Compared with romantic music, it depends more on formal
appeal than emotional stimulation. One of the best-known composed of classical music is Mozart (1756-1791), whose
symphony No. 40 in G Minor has been loved worldwide.
Pop music, in contrast, usually refers to a nonclassical type of music emerging in the early 1900s. Pop music is
popular with a great variety of people because it consists of short songs with a strong beat and simple tunes easy to
remember. Generations of Pop music lovers will perhaps never forget sweet pop songs like Papa by Paul Alka.
Rock n Roll, a type of popular music developed from jazz (rooted in the musical traditions of African-Americans)
and country music (the southern/ western folk music of rural United States), had not appeared until the 1950s. With
