ALEX'S REPORT ON MOZART

Report Excerpt:

If I could ask Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart a question, I would ask him “How did you learn to play the piano so well when you were just a little kid?” I would ask this question because I am learning to play the piano, but I have to practice a lot and I do not know how to compose music. If Mozart were to answer my question, I think he would say, “Many people ask me this question. It is my natural ability. I hear music in my head and then I can just play it on the piano without my mom or dad’s help.”

I enjoyed learning about Mozart’s life for my report. I learned we have some things in common. We both play the piano and we both have sisters. When I feel frustrated practicing my piano homework I will think about how hard Mozart worked on his music. I hope one day I will be good enough to play my favorite Mozart piece on the piano.
