- Section One: Tuning in (11 activities)
- Shows how teachers can tune in to their students' interests and become sensitive to their tastes.
- Section Two: Just music (8 activities)

- Section Three: The artists and the industry (16 activities)
- Looks at how student interest in the topic of music and song can be used to stimulate language learning, even if the students don't actually hear any music. The activities capitalize on the widespread availability of magazines and articles about the music industry.
- Section Four: Using songs (24 activities)
- Looks at how the music and the lyrics of songs can be used in a classroom or language laboratory. Activities are provided which go from a written text to a listening or singing activity, or vice versa.
