Little People, BIG DREAMS Mozart and Beethoven

Introducing young children to classical music is so rewarding – watching them (and joining them) dance around a room or pretending to conduct or play an instrument can be hilarious. And, as toddlers develop so does their curiosity about instruments and many may even show a proclivity for making music. What better way to nurture their talents than to read the books about the inspiring lives of the world’s famous musician written for children from four to seven by Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara.

Little People, BIG DREAMS® MOZART

World-renowned classical musician and composer, Wolfgang Mozart first started playing the keyboard at just three years old. Little Wolfgang soon mastered several instruments and was even writing his own musical compositions. As a young boy, he played for Europe’s royal families and delighted them with his talents. As he grew, Mozart pushed the boundaries of western music and created exciting masterpieces: from dances and masses to symphonies and operas. His music has become a key part of western music education, and continues to inspire young musicians to keep playing and practicing their instruments. Today, Wolfgang’s music still delights audiences across the world, from the smallest school hall to the biggest opera house.

 

Little People, BIG DREAMS® LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN

Little Ludwig grew up in the city of Bonn in Germany. His father and his grandfather were both musicians, and they hoped that Ludwig would take after them, little realising what Ludwig would one day achieve, changing the shape of classical music. He learned to play the piano before his feet could even touch the floor. Beethoven’s star continued to rise, but his musical skill was put to the test when began to lose his hearing, and eventually became deaf. He was devastated, as music was his life! But then he realised something amazing: he could still hear every instrument in his mind. Through resilience and creativity, Ludwig continued composing extraordinary pieces that changed musical history.
