The best thing about being at Chetham’s is the musical opportunities that you get. 
 
At school I can play in many different ensembles; orchestras, jazz bands, brass bands. I think my favourite is jazz 
band. 
When I’m not playing music, I like to relax and play sport like football or tennis. I support Manchester City Football 
Club and go to see the matches regularly when I have the time. 
Peter is young, but he is very talented and hard-working. And with the help of all the teachers at Chetham’s, and a lot 
of practice, he can become world famous in the future.

Unit 6: The year I was born 
 
Part 1: The 1960s 
Do you know what happened in the world the year you were born? 
I was born on 20 April 1964. That was in the middle of Beatlemania, when the British pop group The Beatles was 
really popular. My mum was a big Beatles fan. She had all their records, so I grew up listening to their music. I still 
listen to it sometimes. It’s great! 
Beatlemania 
The four members of The Beatles were born in the city of Liverpool in the UK. In 1961, they played together in a 
small local club called The Cavern Club. Beatles fans still come to this club today. 
The Beatles made their first single, 
Love Me Do
, in 1962. And by the end of 1963, they were the biggest band in the 
UK. They had thousands of very excited fans.
In 1964, the band went on tour to the USA for the first time. They arrived in New York on 7 February. They only 
stayed for two weeks, but they made a lot of fans.
The Beatles returned to the USA in August, and they had concerts in twenty-three cities. By the end of 1964, they 
were the biggest band in the world.
