August's Composer of the Month
We kicked this school year off with one of the most famous composers of all time-Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart!! Although he lived almost 3oo years ago, everyone today still knows his name and has most likely heard his music. Mozart is one of the few true child prodigies, meaning he was a musical genius at a very young age. He began playing piano and violin at age 4, composing at 5, and performing around the country at 6 years old!
Each week of the month we studied a new composition of his:
A Little Night Music, Allegro
Variations on Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Der Holle Rache from The Magic Flute
