Popular Music

Popular music is music created as a commercial product. It is usually distinguished from classical music and from folk music. Classical music is written chiefly for concerts, operas, and ballets. Folk music is the traditional music of a particular group or community of people, such as an occupational, ethnic, or regional group. Folk music is usually learned by listening to another person rather than reading music. There are many different styles of popular music in the United States, including bluegrass, blues, country, gospel, jazz, musical comedy, rap, reggae, and rock. In some cases, the categories of popular, folk, and classical music overlap. For example, jazz and country music evolved out of folk traditions. Some styles, such as blues and bluegrass, exist both as popular music and as folk music. Such classical composers as Leonard Bernstein and Lois Moreau Gottschalk have written pieces in the style of popular music. Although much popular music expresses sentiments of love, other popular songs serve as a vehicle for social description. Popular music is often thought to have meaning only for the time in which it was created. However, many popular songs have lasted for decades.

Decide if the following information is true or false.

Take fifteen unemployed young people and a celebrity chef, put them together in a kitchen for a year and sit back and watch the drama unfold. Jamie Oliver is the celebrity chef. His idea was "to train a team of unemployed kids with an interest in and a passion for food and to open a first class restaurant in London to be run by them".

Jamie Oliver is a phenomenon in the UK, where his TV series shows him in his trendy apartment, cooking fashionable recipes for his cool friends. He is also seen riding his scooter and going shopping at local markets. He became so famous for his lifestyle that the supermarket chain Sainsbury's offered him a fee of over two million pounds to star in their television adverts. They claim that this has resulted in a 20 % increase in their profits.

Cooking has always been part of Jamie Oliver's life. His father runs a pub and restaurant in Essex (South-East England), and, while he was growing up, Jamie helped out in the kitchen, where he gained valuable experience before going on to train as a professional chef and work in famous Italian restaurants in London.

Jamie Oliver is very rich because of his TV shows and adverts and his successful cookery books. However, he remains in touch with his roots, and his down-to-earth style and cheeky humour have made him popular with people of all ages. He wanted "to give a little back and help inspire others", so he decided to invest in a long-term plan to help disadvantaged young people to learn about the catering industry. He has also used his influence to raise money for the project.

His restaurant is called Fifteen, reflecting both the address, 15 Westland Place, London, and the number of novices he recruited. They were chosen from 1,000 applicants, and the whole process was filmed for a five-part documentary. It wasn't easy — the restaurant went over budget, and it looked as if the team wouldn't learn to be chefs in time.

Only ten students survived the training, and viewers saw some of the dramatic moments when individual students broke down, didn't turn up for work, burned food, or when Jamie discussed their progress using his characteristic direct approach.

But the restaurant did open and is still in business. All its profits go to a charity called Cheeky Chops, aimed at producing 30 professional chefs a year. Jamie invested Ј1.3 million in the venture and put his own house at risk to finance it. He wants to set up similar schemes in New York and Sydney. And Jamie's recipe for success?
