He began to swim slowly towards the sound. Suddenly he knocked into a large lily pad. On it sat three confident frogs and them were playing instruments. Freddy climbed onto the leaf. “can I sing with you ” he asked quietly. “of course,” thay said. He opened his mouth wide and began:
Help! I need somebody.

The “Mozart effect”
Do you worry about exams Of course , everyone does. Do you find it difficult to remember what you study Well, everybody has trouble remembering things from time to time. Do you know music can help you remember things better
Listening text
Scientists have shown that if you listen to classical music and especially Mozart while you are studying, it helps your memory. It is called the “Mozart effect”.
It would be useful to know if the “Mozart effect” works with all kinds of music. Certainly scientists have done some experiments to find out.
They have tried playing other kinds of music (such as pop music) while students are studying, but it doesn’t work. It seems that the regular rhythms of classical music help develop one’s memory. However, this improvement only lasts for a short time.
If you want to improve your intelligence, what should you do Scientists think that learning a musical instrument is helpful,
Especially for improving maths skills. This is because maths and music both use the same part of the brain. So if you want to be good at maths, perhaps you should go to a music class!
Listen to the tape and tick the words you hear.

God.
In the church.
Mathematical and with a special pattern.
What type of music did he write
Why is he remembered today
Choral music.
For the beauty of his musical patterns.
THE MUSIC OF BACH
Classical music does not have words. It tries to describe feelings with musical instruments. It is called classical music because it was written at a time when there was no pop or rock music. The music was written to a special pattern.
Listening text
Only the cleverest composers was Bach. He was not famous during his life, but became very famous after his death. He worked in a small church and had to write new songs to sing every week. So he composed beautiful choral music.
He also wrote music for people to listen to as they left the church. Some of his music is very mathematical with different parts that repeat each other in a very peaceful way. All his music was written for God and some of it is very moving. He never became rich but his music has a special
place in classical music. He is remembered today for the beauty of his musical patterns. You can listen to one of his pieces of music now.
HOMEWORK
Read the materials about Mozart after class.
