*Extra: Students may redeem ONE practice day this week by watching the videos on this blog about Mozart and by answering this trivia question (answer found in the link to the fun facts page at bottom of blog):
How old was Mozart when he finished writing his first symphony?
Tell me the answer at your lesson, and it will make up for any ONE day you missed of practicing this week!
Mozart wrote lots of music- not just for piano. Operas, symphonies, concerti, sonatas, and the list goes on and on!
Here's a super fun video of Mozart's Eine Klein Nachtmusik...with a bit of a twist. You will probably recognize the tune- it's one of his most famous!
In fact, Mozart was SUCH a genius, that he wasn't always liked by other composers. He was composing by age 5. Yep, 5! Here's a funny clip about Mozart and another composer named Salieri, when Salieri had worked very hard composing something and Mozart made him look ridiculous by memorizing the piece the first time he heard it. If any students want to give this a try, let me know. :)
