We know that music plays an important part in almost everyone’s life.

Babies and the young children love to hear people singing to them. When they are a little older, they like to sing the songs that they have heard. When children go to school, their world of music grows. In the middle of the grades, students take music lessons. When they reach high school, they become interested in listening to pop music. Music has meaning for everyone. It can make people happy or it can make them sad.

Music is now heard everywhere. We shall try to find out more about how music works. Let’s listen to a radio broadcast.

In this broadcast we shall study the language of music. We shall try to find out how music says what people feel.

The word “music” comes from the Greek word “muses”, who were goddesses of the arts. Music is only one part of the arts. It is like the spoken language, but it uses sounds differently.
