Music
Music plays a big role in our life. Can you think of a day without it? We hear music everywhere: in the street in shops, in parks and at home. Music follows us from childhood and we can't live without it. We listen to music when we are happy or sad, we dance to it and we learn to play music, too. Music is not a combination of sounds, it is art. There are a lot of kinds of music: classical music, jazz, popular music or pop-music, rock and club music. They are all different, but still people listen to them and enjoy. Music reflects our life, our feelings and emotions.
I prefer Russian pop-music. I have no favorite pop group. I just listen to the songs and melodies I like. My brother loves rock music. His favorite rock groups are Aria and Rammstein. Sometimes he turns the music up and enjoys it.
My father likes classical music. His favorite composer is Mozart. Sometimes he listens to Vivaldi or Tchaikovsky. When I am in no mood I can listen to classical music, too. It calms me and I start feeling better.
As for my mother, she is fond of Elvis Presley. She can listen to his songs all day. She says that he is great and his voice makes her forget about everyday problems. I like to go to clubs and discos. Most of them play club music: trance or techno.
I like to dance to such music, but I can't listen to it alone. The beats and sounds are too aggressive sometimes and I usually have a headache later.
My friend studies in a musical college. She likes folk music. Students of this college usually sing and dance to it. I have been to the concerts where they performed and I enjoyed it a lot.
Nobody knows when music appeared, but I think that if there were no music, our life would be very boring and sad.

Modern Music is very different from the Music of the past centuries. But in all times people expressed their feelings and emotions with the help of Music. All people are not alike, that's why there are so many various styles in music. (Folk, techno, Jazz and etc.)
Nowadays singers and songs become popular very quickly thanks to special radio programs and TV channels. Many people prefer listening to Europe+ , Autoradio, Russian Radio. And the most favorite TV channel is MTV.
As for me I'm not a fan of any special singer or group. I like many of them and it depends on my mood what music I want to listen to at the moment.
It may seem strange that I switch on slow, quiet and a bit melancholic songs when everything is excellent and I feel happy. But when something goes wrong and I'm about to cry I need to hear other Music. So it helps me to overcome my depression and makes me stronger.
As I've no special preferences, I have got a big collection of music in computer files for any occasion.
I'd like to add that I know a lot of people who love and appreciate good quality music.
One of my friends has a great collection of the best hits, which belong to different styles. Another friend is a guitarist and learns to play the drums and cymbals.
Every weekend a great number of people gather at disco parties to dance and relax there. Music is the thing that unites them.

People cannot live without music. They can listen to music everywhere even in the forest, when they walk and hear birds singing.
Music can be classical and modern. Classical music is performed by symphonic orchestras in the great halls. There are a lot of famous composers whose music is played nowadays. Classical music is serious and requires good understanding that's why it may seem to be boring and dull for some.
Most people prefer modern music. Modern music is performed by TV and radio. Modern music has different kinds: pop, rock, disco, rap, techno and others. Most young people like dance and pop. Older people are fond of jazz, rock and pop. There are a lot of singers or music bands who perform this or that kind of music. Now there are a lot of discs and records of different performers.
The last achievement in music production is a clip. Musical clips are short films accompanied by the melody. It may be a short story what the song is about or simply a great number of different pictures. People like to watch clips because it’s not only listening to music but also watching interesting things. I’m fond of music and like to listen to it for it helps me to have good relaxation.

Music in Our Life
I love music; I think people cannot live without it. The first thing I do in the morning I switch on my tape - recorder. We can hear music everywhere: in the streets, in the shops, on TV, over the radio, in the cars, in the parks, everywhere. I think it's really doesn't matter what kind of music you prefer: rock, pop, classical, jazz. A lot of people are fond of music. They buy tapes, go to the concerts, and visit Concert Halls and Opera Theatres.
I enjoy listening music because it reflects my moods and emotions. Very often when I'm blue, I play my favourite merry songs and feel much better.
Sometimes I attend music halls and the concerts, when popular groups and singers are there. I like watching music programs on TV. I like to know more and more about popular talented groups and singers I like. One wall of my room is covered with posters of "Bon Jovi", "Scorpions", "Roxette", Russian singers Agutin, Sjutkin, Linda and others.
Some people go to music schools, they play different musical instruments, sing in the chorus, try to compose music.
Unfortunately there are so many ungifted singers on the stages that it makes me sad. To have a good producer doesn't mean to have good ears and voice. I think that only talented people can claim to be singers.
