Слайд 7Music is one of the most important forms of self-expression and
individuality, but, above all, it is a means of communication.
Music is a universal language that everyone can understand, and one that everyone enjoys understanding.
Whether you’re playing, singing or just listening, your mother tongue and cultural background become unimportant; so if you’re ever at a loss for something to say, say it with music.
Слайд 8Music is like a new language. This is because you can
transmit what you feel or what you like. Sometimes it's difficult to communicate with other people when they don't speak your native language, maybe you are afraid of making a grammatical mistake, or saying something that may sound rude or direct for the person that you're talking with. With music this is more easier, you can connect with other people and make new friends that share your favorite music.
