Music is a very important part of our lives. Music is for dancing, drinking, eating, loving and thinking.

Some songs reminds us of our childhood or youth. Others remind us of the people we love. Many

important occasions, like weddings and funerals have special music. Every nation has a national song

like the American “ The Star- Spangled Banner”. In the U.S, high schools and colleges have school songs,

too. Music is a part of the history of America. It expresses the problems and feelings of its people. When

the years pass, the music grows and changes.

Modern science has also changed music. Inventions like records, radio, movies, electric instruments,

tape recorders and video have changed the way we play and listen to music. They have helped to make

music an important form of international communication.

American music, from the earliest folk songs to modern “pop”, is known around the world. Music is

one of America’s most important exports. It brings the people of the world together. Even when people

cannot understand the same language, they can share the same music. Many people learn and practise

English by singing songs. Understanding American music can help you understand American people,

their history and culture.
