September Composer(s) of the Month- Clara Schuman

I will post once a month, the composer we are studying. Very little time in the lessons will be given to this so I encourage you to explore all the links, songs, and games I post here on the web. 





Quick facts about Ms. Schumann 

* her parents were musicians in the early 1800's
* she grew up in Germany and learned from her father, piano and violin
* she began performing at the age of 9, with a full recital all on her own at 11
* she toured playing music all over and outside of Germany
* she fell in love with one of her parent's students Robert Schumann
* she not only cared for her family of 8 but also found time to PRACTICE , perform and teach!
