How has popular music changed over the last 60 years?

﻿Hi, everyone, and welcome to a history lesson with me, Ms. Emms. Let's see what we're going to be doing today. So, in today's lesson, we are going to be exploring this key question. How has popular music changed over the last 60 years? And this is lesson two of two with me, Ms. Emms. So, hopefully, you've already been able to have a look at lesson one. And that had the same lesson total, but we were focusing on the 1960s to the 1990s. Today we're going to think about the second half of this time period. Okay. So let's have a look at our lesson agenda. First thing's first, we're going to go over some star words, so important words that we need to know to be able to access today's learning. After that, we'll have a reminder of our timeline before moving on to thinking about ways in which people listened to music, between the 1990s and the present day, 2020. So we're going to look at MP3 players and smartphones. And then we're going to listen to some music from the 1990s to the 2020s. And finally, it will be time for your end of lesson quiz. Okay. So in this lesson, you're going to need three things. Firstly, a piece of paper. Secondly, a pencil. And thirdly, your brain switched on and ready to learn. Pause the video now if you need to go and get your paper and your pencil. All right, now you're ready. Let's get started. So let's have a look at our star words. My turn, your turn. Star words, star words, star words. Great, well done. So, first up, it is music. Your turn. We're listening to different types, different genres, and pieces of music in today's lesson. The next star word is listen. Your turn, do it with the action. Listen. Great, well done. We're using our ears to listen to different pieces of music. Then the next two star words, cassette tape and CD, your turn. We've talked heavily about cassette tapes and CDs in lesson one of this unit. And today we're going to move onto MP3. Or MP3 players, and smartphones, your turn. Well done. So let's have a recap of our timeline. So here we go, we've got today, 2020. Then the century from 1900 to 2000, okay. So a hundred years. And roughly where Ms. Emms was born here. And roughly where my grandmother, my granny, was born here. Okay, and today we are focusing on these 60 years, so still within living memory. And what that means, is that we could ask our grandparents, our parents or carers about this time period. And we could ask our grandparents, parents, or carers how they used to listen to music when they were younger. So, the last 60 years, 1960, 70, 80, 90, 2000, 2010, and 2020. And you may remember that in lesson one, we focused on the first part of this time period. We learned that there are four main ways in which people have listened to music. We went from cassettes, CDs, and then today we're thinking about MP3 and smartphones, okay. That's what we're going to be focusing on in today's lesson. We're going to learn about MP3 players and smartphones. And we're going to hear some examples of music from this time period. Okay, pause the video now, as a quick recap question before we begin with today's music. And can you write in the name of the way that people listen to music. The first one as a cheeky clue, would be a cassette. Can you remember the next three? Pause the video and off you go. Well done. We have CD, compact disc. We had MP3, and we had smartphone. Okay, so here are three pictures and now these are all examples of MP3 players, okay Now this one looks perhaps a little less modern than these two, but they are all examples of MP3 players. I remember when I was younger and I used to listen to my favourite music, I would listen to my favourite music on an MP3 player. I would plug my headphones in, and I would listen to the music from the MP3 player, okay. MP3 players came about in the late 1990s, and people used them until the 2000s. Okay so on our timeline, can you find 1990? Can you find 2000? Great, so the late 1990s to the 2000s. That's when MP3 players were widely used, okay. As a quick recap question can you point to the correct option? When were MP3 players invented? In the early 1990s, in the late 1990s, or in the late 2000s? Point to the option that you think is correct. Off you go. Great, well done. Hopefully you got option 2. In the late 1990s, okay. In the late 1990s. Well done. Okay, so, after MP3 players, technology has advanced and developed and that means that we are now able to listen to music using smartphones. Here are some pictures of some different smartphones on your screen. So smartphones that could play music, because there were some smartphones before that could not play music, came about in the early 2000s, and they're still used today. So you might, you might have done it yourself, or you might have seen other people listening to music from their smartphones. So from the early 2000s, all the way to present day, today. So, which were invented first? MP3 players, or smartphones which could play music. Can you point to the correct option on your screen? Well done. Hopefully you are pointing to MP3 players. They were invented first, before smartphones which could play music. Well done. Okay, now we're going to have a listen to some music from the 1990s to the 2020s. So this time period here. We're going to start off with the 1990s, and we're going to start off with a band called Guns N' Roses, okay. And we're going to listen to a song called Sweet Child O' Mine. Now this genre of music, the type of music that it is, is hard rock, okay. I want you to listen carefully, and I want you to see what you think of this extract from the song Sweet Child O' Mine. Listening ears. Okay, and that was some extract from Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses. So, as I explained just before we listened, this genre of music is hard rock music. Did you like that piece of music? Great, what did you like about it? Okay, well done everyone. It's now time for us to move on to our piece of music from the 2000s. And this is by someone, as singer called Luciano Pavarotti. And it's a classical piece of music, so a very different kind of genre. And it's called Nessun Dorma. Okay, listening ears ready. See what you think. Okay, and that was our extract from Nessun Dorma by Luciano Pavarotti. Did you like listening to that piece of music? You will have noticed that it's very different to the pieces of music that we've listened to so far in this lesson. From the classical genre. And I think you'll agree that he has a really beautiful voice. Well done, everybody. It's time for us now to move on to the 2010s. And we are going to be listening to an extract from a song called Crown by an artist called Stormzy, okay. And the genre that we're going to be thinking about here is grime. Now grime came about in London in the 2000s. And it developed from a UK dance style of music called UK Garage, okay. And it has influences from Jungle, Dance Hall and Hip Hop music. So have a listen, and see what you think. Okay, and that was our extract from Crown by Stormzy. Did you like listening to that piece of music? Great, well done, and as we said before the genre there is grime. Which is a genre that came about in London in the 2000s. And it's developed from an earlier UK dance style of music called UK garage. Okay, let's move on to the 2020s. So we are in 2020 now so I've chosen a recent piece of music by Rihanna and Calvin Harris. And it's called We Found Love. And this piece of music again, a very different kind of genre. Which is electronic dance music and pop. A mixture of the two, okay. So have a listen carefully and see what you think. Okay, and that was our extract from We found Love by Rihanna and Calvin Harris. Okay, what did you think of that piece of music? Great, you will have noticed that this piece of music has a lot of energy, okay. The genre as we said before is electronic dance music mixed with some pop music as well. So very different to the styles of music that we've listened to before the 2020s. For example, very different to Stormzy's piece of music, very different to the classical piece of music that we listened to, and to the hard rock piece of music that we listened to at the beginning. So, you have now listened to four extracts. From the Guns N' Roses, from Luciano Pavarotti, from Stormzy, and from Rihanna and Calvin Harris. Now you might want to go back and listen again to remind yourself of the songs. After that, I want you to write down the following sentence: My favourite singer or group was because So you're going to name your favourite singer or group, and you're going to give a reason. Remember that you can go back in the video if you'd like to. Pause the video, complete that task, now. Great, well done. And next it's going to be time for your end of lesson quiz. So a few questions to see what you can remember from today's learning. Well done everyone, you've done a really great job today. Can I have a virtual high-ten? Are you ready? 3. 2. 1. Wow everyone, well done. I will see you next time. Bye!
