What types of music events are popular today and why is pop music dominant?
Hello, hello dear listener, and welcome into speaking part three about music events and music in general.
Uh-huh.
What kind of music events do people like today?
Well, generally speaking, it seems like pop music is the thing, or at least the in thing these days. Uh you can see pop artists uh at the top of most of the charts, like but people like Taylor Swift, for example.
What kind of music events are there in your country?
Uh, usually there's a little bit of everything, I think. We have like folk, uh music events and live bands all over the place, but there are also bigger concerts and orchestras and even operas in the major cities.
Do you think children should receive some musical education?
In general, yes, it's good to be able to understand why things work and how they might be ch used to achieve some effect, um, and presumably we want music to be created in the future, so some kind of education will be necessary for that. It doesn't just happen by accident.
What are the differences between old and young people's music preferences?
Oh that's a good question. I suppose usually older people seem to prefer more old fashioned music, probably just because it's what they're used to, um and they've been around longer, so of course it will be old fashioned. While younger people tend to like newer and louder pieces and artists. I'm not sure why, that just seems to be the case.
What are the differences between listening to music at home and at a live concert?
Uh, by and large, when you listen to things at home you've got more control over the environment and choice in music, whereas, well, broadly speaking, at a live concert, you're sort of at the mercy of other people and their choices, aren't you?
Why do many people like listening to music while doing sports?
Well, I suppose as a rule it might take their minds off any demanding activities or um distract them from the huge effort they're probably making because s doing sports is pretty demanding, I would say. And maybe people don't really want to be in the moment, so they want to dissociate a bit.
How has technology changed the way people listen to music?
I suppose it's made it more portable. So for example, in the past people would have had to go to an opera house to listen to music, whereas now, thanks to technology, you can just s uh well switch on a device and there everything is. The opera's in um literally in the palm of your hands.

Yeah dear listen, if we say it's music to my ears, it means you like it. Like I say like, oh Rory, you are so educated, you look lovely, your hair is fabulous. And Rory says That's a lie.
How do music preferences differ between older and younger generations?
No No, it's music to my ears. It's a nice thing to say. Or a nice thing to hear.
