Article: Alma Deutscher is a child prodigy on piano.
Born in England to a British mom and Israeli Dad, Alma is a composer, pianist and violinist. She lives in England and is only 8 years old but has already written an opera,
The Sweeper of Dreams. She could identify notes when she was 2 and was playing Handel Sonatas at 3. At 6 she wrote her first sonata. She says she hears and makes up tunes in her head, even when she is not playing. See the
video of her being interviewed and playing piano.
Discussion After Watching Video:
- What do think of her playing? Are you surprised she is only 8 years old?
- Discuss the game they played -- she makes up song after choosing 3 notes.
- Notice she switches between English and Hebrew? Why? How does she know both languages?Which language does she seem more comfortable in?
- Alma is likely a child prodigy and likely practices a lot. What do you practice a lot?
