Writing

In writing class, we were studying about Mozart (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, oh ya, i remembered!) and his music/life. Out teacher went to Austria and took a class there and learned quite a lot about him! From her experience, she educated us, and then we watched one of his operas. The Magic Flute.

Some things we learned about Mozart was that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wasn't really his real name. He changed his name as he went from country to country (to share his musical talent) to match the language and culture better. I forget his real ridiculousness long name (and i don't feel bad because even our teacher did when she was teaching us :) and i don't want to look it up because the point of this is to write down all of what i DO remember!

Another thing was that he came from a musical family. It wasn't like he was a swan born into a family of ducks (not referring to the ugly duckling, but now that i do think about it, it does remind me of that story...), he already came from a family of swans, because his dad and sister were both talented musicians.

His dad pushed him a lot in his music career, and at a very young age, he performed for royalty. As many of you know, he's one of the best musicians in history.

After we watched his opera "The Magic Flute" we wrote a interpretative story about it... it's hard to explain, but I'll post the story later!

ALSO, I learned how to spell musician! Yippeeee, and other celebrating phrases!
