He can play any tune from memory, without looking at sheet music (musical notation written on paper). He spends all his free time strumming a guitar (playing a guitar), composing music (creating music), and writing song lyrics (the words to a song). Alex and his friends formed a band that has attracted a sizable following (a lot of fans) in our city. They started out playing gigs (giving small, informal performances) in bars and clubs, and they used the money they earned to record their debut album (record their first CD). A remixed track (a song that has been modified electronically) from that CD then became a massive hit (a very popular song) on the local radio station thanks to its catchy tune (memorable melody) and upbeat tempo (fast rhythm). Their second album will be released (it will be made available to the public) at the end of the year; they’ll record it live at their next show. Alex dreams of going on tour – he’s just waiting for his big break (big opportunity to become famous) to get his foot in the door of the music industry. As for me, I love singing along (singing together) to my brother’s music, but a career in music isn’t for me – I’m completely tone-deaf (unable to correctly identify different musical notes) and I always sing off-key (sing the incorrect melody)! __________________________________________ ✓ musically gifted (he has a natural talent for music): müzikal yetenekli, doğuştan müzik yeteneği olmak ✓ sheet music (musical notation written on paper): nota, kâğıda yazılmış müzik notaları ✓ strumming a guitar (playing a guitar): gitar çalmak ✓ composing music (creating music): beste yapmak ✓ song lyrics (the words to a song): şarkı sözleri ✓ sizable following (a lot of fans): büyük hayran, takipçi kitlesi ✓ playing gigs (giving small, informal performances): sahne almak ✓ record their debut album (record their first CD): ilk albümü kaydetmek ✓ A remixed track (a song that has been modified electronically): elektronik olarak değiştirilmiş şarkı ✓ massive hit (a very popular song): çok popüler şarkı ✓ catchy tune (memorable melody): akılda kalıcı, unutmayan melodi ✓ upbeat tempo (fast rhythm): hızlı tempo, ritim ✓ album will be released (it will be made available to the public): albüm yayınlanacak ✓ record it live: canlı kaydetmek ✓ going on tour: turneye çıkmak ✓ big break (big opportunity to become famous): ünlü olma fırsatı ✓ music industry: müzik endüstrisi ✓ singing along (singing together): beraber söylemek ✓ completely tone-deaf (unable to correctly: müzik kulağı olmamak (notaları doğru söyleyememek) ✓ sing off-key (sing the incorrect melody): falsolu söylemek (yanlış melodiyi söylemek) __________________________________________ Additional collocations: Ek Eşdizimler ✓ contemporary music = modern music classical music: çağdaş, modern, klasik müzik ✓ orchestral/instrumental music = music with instruments only (no singing) rock music: orkestra/enstrümantal müzik, yalnızca enstrümanlı müzik (şarkı söylemeden) ✓ solo album = CD featuring one singer alone, not in a group of singers: solo albüm = Sadece tek bir şarkıcının yer aldığı CD, bir grup şarkıcı içermez ✓ compilation album = a CD with a collection of songs from many different singers/bands: Derleme albüm = Birçok farklı şarkıcı/grubun şarkılarından oluşan bir CD ✓ cult following = a very dedicated/devoted group of fans: Kült takipçisi = Çok sadık/adanan hayran grupları
