I'm not sure that 4 years is enough time. In any event at the age o5 Mozart was taken to a cathedral where he listened to a number of pieces of music. He then went home and wrote one of them down, having only heard it the once. I think that is hard to practice. :)
He actually started learning at 3 and his sister later said that he was identifying thirds and attempting composition before the age of 5. I could practice a lifetime and not achieve a tenth of what he did in a few young years. 2009/9/16 [email protected] <[email protected]>: > > Ahhh but I think that perhaps he may have had enough time. > > He did not attend school, he was instead taught by his father himself > amongst other things a musician. > > Lets say that he started to learn music at 4, young enough not to have > picked up bad learning habits, and at a stage where the mind is very > much conducive to the learning experiance.
