ORAL PRESENTATION: Music

Greetings:

Ok, let's get started. Good morning, everybody. My name's Clàudia and my friend is Maria. We're students at Casa Nostra School.
Today we're going to talk about classical music.

Introduce your talk:

What music do you normally listen? (bla bla bla...)

General explanation:

First, we’re going to talk about our music and school of music in Banyoles. After that, Maria’s going to explain some ideas about the violin. Next, Claudia’s going to explain some ideas about the clarinet. And finally we’re going to talk about some facts of music. (diapositiva portada).

Main body:

We study at EMMB (Escola Múnicipal de Música de Banyoles) and we play classical music. Maria plays the violin and Clàudia plays the clarinet. (diapositiva) We play with the JOB (Jove Orquestra de Banyoles). There are a lot of instruments: violins, one viola, flutes, clarinets, cellos, trumpets and saxophones. Our director is Càndid Rodríguez. He's dynamic but sometimes he is very serious. (diapositiva). At the concerts he's very funny because he moves hands and legs a lot. You'll see this now. (video)

VIOLIN:
The violin is an string instrument. It's a wooden musical instrument with four strings which are held against the neck and played by moving a bow across the strings.
In all orchestras there are violins. The violin is the instrument which carries the main melody.

CLARINET:
A tube-shaped musical instrument which is played by blowing through a single reed and pressing the metal keys to produce different notes in woodwind family. There are a extended family of clarinets:

- Piccolo clarinet.
- Sopranino clarinet.
- Soprano clarinet (this is the one I play).
- Bass clarinet.
- Alto clarinet.
- Contra – alto clarinet.
- Contrabass clarinet.

Woody Allen is a well-known filmmaker whose passion is playing the clarinet in a band. Sometimes he has given up collecting film awards in a ceremony if he had a musical meeting to play with his band.
