Fun facts ( and a quiz) about music!

Welcome to my music post where I will tell you about an instrument, tell you about a music writer/musician, and then you could try the music quiz I made. 

First I will tell you about the instrument I used to play in grade 6 and 7 the clarinet. Even though I no longer play it I still wanted to know more about it, so I researched the clarinet and here is some of the things I found.

1. The clarinet was invented sometime after 1698 by Johann Christoph Denner. 
2. The clarinet is the most popular single reed instrument.
3. Over ten types of clarinets
4. Made from Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene or ABS
5. Most famous clarinettist include Anton stadler (1753-1812)
6. You need a reed to make a sound on it
7. A clarinet  doesn’t break easily 
8. For all ages
9. You can play many types of music on your clarinet one type is modern music. 
10. To help someone learn more about how to play a clarinet I am putting this YouTube video of the first three steps here

Now that you know a lot about the clarinet lets learn about a great musician who I am sure you all have heard about Ludwig van Beethoven. He was a great songwriter and musician that lived from 1770-1827. He was born in Germany and his work ranked amongst most preformed of the classical music. He wrote nine symphonies, and the fifth symphony is the most famous symphony. He started to wright a 10th symphony before he died though he was never able to finish it. 

Finally for this post I made a music Kahoot that you can try. Post a comment below to let me know what you thought about it.

That concludes my music post. I learned more about music today so I really hope you learned a little from reading this too.
