Suggested answers:S1: A choir is an organized group of singers, esp. one that performs in church services, while a band refers to a group of people playing, esp. wind instruments, such as a brass band, a military band, etc.S2: Jazz musicians usually play saxophone萨克斯管, clarinet单簧管, trumpet小号, trombone长号, violin; piano, violone低音提琴, guitar, banjo, drum, triangle (三角铁), cymbals（钹）, xylophone（木琴）, grand piano, etc.S3: The music of a soul singer actually is a mixture of blues, gospel and a bottle rock and roll, which can express his or her strong emotion. With the development of soul music, its styles are no longer separated according to race.The teacher can help the students with some difficult words while they are expressing their idea.Step II ReadingEnable the students to learn different types of American music through reading and matching. T: Now, look at Activity 2. We are going to learn four types of American music. Read the passage and match the types of American music with their features. Some types of music have the same features as others.After the students have finished reading, check the answers by asking four students to read each paragraph and tell the features of the music described in it. S1: (Read gospel music) I think the features of Gospel music are: church, sophisticated, southern United States, rhythmic and nineteenth century.S2: (Read soul music) In my opinion, only rhythmic is the feature of Soul music.S3: (Read jazz) Id like to say Jazz has many features and they are: making it up as you play, using unusual rhythms, New Orleans and African American.S4: (Read blues) I can see the following are the features of Blues: guitar, piano, and harmonica; southern United States, African, American and nineteen century.T: Great. Please pay attention to this phrase: consist of = be made up of, contain, include e.g. This club consists of more than 200 members. Coal consists mostly of carbon.If possible, the teacher can play some pieces of the four types of music to the students. T: OK, now lets relax and enjoy some music.

MC Dark remembered the first time he heard a rap singer. “The moment I heard it,” he said, “I knew it was a completely new kind of music.” The first time that rap artists recorded their music, musicians recorded the tracking tracks (the music without the singing) in the studio and rappers added their vocals later.2.
