Music is an international language．Popular music in America is what every student likes．Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class，after class，and at lunch．Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the street．Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work．They also listen to the news about sports，the weather，politics，and activities of the American people．Most of the radio broadcast is music．
Pop or popular music singers make much money．They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in many places．Once the popular singer is heard all over the country，young people will buy his or her tape．Some of the money from these tapes goes to the singer．Wherever the singer goes，all the young people want to meet him or her．Now the singer has become a national star．
There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans．One is called folk music．It tells stories about the common life of Americans．Another is called western or country music．This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching．Today，any music about country life and love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music．Serious music for the concert halls is called classical music．Music for instruments is called classical music，such as the symphonies of Beethoven．
