An original text Music is the universal language of the world with some meaning at least for the immense majority of people. It is the mirror of our lives and life problems. People can’t live without music. It is everywhere at home, in a concert hall, in parks at the seaside and even in the forest.

There are different musical genres: symphony, concerto, opera, ballet and others. http: //s-english. ru
