 - Read the following passage and do the tasks below.

Much of the music we listen to today is a mixture of styles from various countries and time periods. A lot of music has roots in older traditional songs heard in many different countries around the world. Traditional, or folk music is collected over decades. Younger generations learn these songs from their elders through practice and repetition.

Many people fear that traditional and older types of music are slowly disappearing, partly because they are less likely to be written down or recorded. Also, younger generations may not find such music very appealing, so once older generations pass away, the music may die out with them. Whole genres of music may go extinct.

Nowadays, there is a growing effort to preserve music in its many forms. Some researchers create field recordings to capture live performances, others try to write out the music so that it can be studied and played by modem musicians.
