# Types of Music
Ambient Music – Music used to create or enhance a mood or atmosphere. You would find such music generally in lobby’s, restaurants, or playing in the background of a video.

Country Music – A form of popular music originating in the rural southern US. It is a mixture of ballads and dance tunes played characteristically on fiddle, banjo, guitar, and pedal steel guitar.

Gospel Music – A popularized form of impassioned rhythmic spiritual music rooted in the solo and responsive church singing.

Rap Music – A style of popular music, developed by disc jockeys and urban blacks in the late 1970s, in which an insistent, recurring beat pattern provides the background and often rapid slang words are used.

Latin Music – Latin music is mainly defined by four elements: Music style, geography, cultural background of the artist, and language. Music style includes genres such as Salsa, Bachata, Latin Pop and Regional Mexican music.

Background Music – Background music is generally quiet music that plays in a public place.

World Music – This genre of music is a traditional music from the developing world, sometimes incorporating elements of Western popular music.

Fusion Music – Fusion genre is a music genre that combines two or more genres. For example, rock and roll originally developed as a fusion of blues, gospel and country music. The main characteristics of fusion genres are variations in tempo, rhythm and sometimes the use of long musical "journeys" that can be divided into smaller parts, each with their own dynamics, style and tempo.

Indie Music- Independent music (often shortened to indie music or indie) is music produced independently from major commercial record labels.

0:06 In this lesson we will discuss the idiom 'the ball is in your court' and how to use it in conversations.
0:20 If someone says 'the ball is in your court' to you it means that he wants you to react on the matter.
0:28 Mr. Smith told me that the ball is in my court when he gave me the assignment. He meant that I should work on it now, right?
0:36 You got it, Daisy. The idiom is often used in making a decision.
0:42 However it also means whatever happens, it's up to you; now it's your turn to make a decision.
0:50 So if the ball is in someone's court it means that it is now his responsibility to do something about it.
0:58 Correct! This makes the meaning clear. Will you give me some examples?
1:04 I guess the ball is in my court now! Okay here's one example: ''I've emailed you my half of the report Mark. Now the ball is in your court.''
1:14 Thank you Daisy! By the way, we've already raised $3000 for the freshmen party. Now the ball is in your court to schedule it.
1:24 Don't worry Mark, actually I've planned it already! Let's listen to some conversations now.
1:36 What about the balance sheet Olivia? Have you done it?
1:40 I did my bit and gave it to John. The ball's in his court now. You should talk to him Wilson.
1:46 Thank you Olivia. I'll ask John about it.
1:55 Wilson, what happened to your job transfer?
1:58 Yeah! I talked to Mr. Jones about it. He said the ball is in the chairman's court.
2:03 I see,so you might stay with us a bit longer!
2:07 For now, I have no choice, unless I just quit.
2:11 So if the chairman refuses your transfer request, the ball will be in your court.
2:16 Yeah. That's right. It'll be a tough decision.
2:25 Hey Wilson, let's go watch one of the new movies today, okay?
2:28 I'm a little bored of watching movies, let's go do something else.
2:32 Okay, what would you like to do then? I'll do anything you want to do.
2:36 Really?
2:38 Yep, the ball's in your court!
2:43 I guess the ball is in my court now!
2:50 Now the ball is in your court to schedule it.
2:58 The ball’s in his court now.
3:03 He said the ball is in the chairman's court.
3:10 If the chairman refuses your transfer request, the ball will be in your court.
3:20 Yep, the ball’s in your court!
