[EINE KLEINE NACHTMUSIK BEGINS]
>> RACHEL: Was it:
Beethoven
Mozart
Or Chopin?
To figure it out, let’s learn more about musical maestros.
[EINE KLEINE NACHTMUSIK ENDS]
>> RACHEL: But first, switch your brushing to the other side of the top of your mouth…
[SWITCH BELL]
>> RACHEL: -and brush the molars in the way back. First up: Beethoven.
[CLASSICAL MUSIC BEGINS]
>> RACHEL: Ludwig Van Beethoven was a composer. Composers are people who write music, and Beethoven was a VERY busy composer. One of the coolest things about him was that he wrote music even though he was deaf. That means he wrote music without being able to hear it!
So, did Beethoven write our mystery music, or was it Mozart?
[CLASSICAL MUSIC ENDS]
>> RACHEL: Switch to the bottom of your mouth…
[SWITCH BELL]
>> RACHEL: -and keep on brushing.
[CLASSICAL MUSIC BEGINS]
>> RACHEL: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was what’s called a musical child prodigy, which basically means he was a super talented kid! Mozart started writing music when he was just 5 years old!
[CLASSICAL MUSIC ENDS]
