Do you own any of the music your person is famous for playing or singing? What made you choose this person to write about?

No, I do not own any of the music he has sang or played, but I've heard one that he sang a few times(what a wonderful world). I picked him because I knew that he was a really good musician but I wanted to know how he got that far, and like how he was discovered.

My person is Louis Armstrong. He grew up in Storyville, New Orleans during segregation. His family was pretty poor, so he had to work since he was young to get money for his family. He was also a troublemaker, which got him sent to a juvenile hall type place when he was only like 14 years old. When he was there, he learned to play the cornet which got him interested in music. He followed his idol(Joe Oliver) around, and after he was let out and had been playing on corners, Oliver invited Louis to his house to teach him because he thought he had potential. Louis Armstrong's musical abilities changed the way people saw jazz music and he has insprired alot of other musicians.

no,I dont have any of the beatles music but i've heard one of their songs(lucy in the sky with diamonds)in sixth grade at Fifer. I picked them because I thought that it would be easy to find things on them because they were so famous back then. And I thought that looking up a old famous band would be fun to learn about but its kinda hard tom find things about them.

I like Aaliyah because like you said she is a extrodanary person. But i think it is sad that she died at a young age. I do wish she was alive so she can make more of her awesome songs.

I think it is interesting how Aaliyah became a famous Artist. I think her singing is very wonderful and she has a beautiful vioce.

I think that Bob Marly is one of the best musicians because he believed in injecting music and love together may bring peace in the world. Even when a gun man came into his house told him not play in his next concert and Bob walked out on that stage and sang.

i think that bob marley was a Phenomenal musician because, he was always for peace and love. he was did not beleive in war or anything of that nature. In my opinion "nesta" bob marley got into music because in kingston it is the city of music.

I did my biography on Clara Schumann. She was a famous piano player and composer. I didn't know about her before this project, but I found some of her music online. I also play piano so I have been trying to play some of her pieces. She wrote many starting at the age of 11. I chose to do my report on her because I think it's interesting to see how she grew up playing piano like i did. We have many things in common, but she was a piano virtuoso. The pieces she wrote at 11, are hard for me to play now. She was much better than i am. She could play better than most adults in her time period.

My person is Alicia Keys, i chose Alicia Keys because she is a wonderful singer and Pianist. Alicia started piano lessons at the age of seven and now is a great piano player.Alicia has a wonderful singing voice that has many layers of sound. Her voice raises and falls, so you can feel the emotion and pain in her songs.A song that has many layers of sound that Alicia has made is "Fallin'". This song topped the pop charts in June,2001.After that Alicia was unstoppable.

The song was called “Lucy and the sky of diamonds” and what is more surprising is what it means. When you lay out the initials it spells L.S.D.(you take out and the and of). But, you should really listen to more of there music, they are an interesting band with some amazing songs like, abbey road, helter skelter, and here comes the sun. they are amazing musicians and have cool British accents^^ also, try music.com bios, for more info on the beatles.

i think bob marley was a peace singer because how bad it was in jamica where he was born so he thought that every one should be left in peace and not in a trouble world he was in. Just like one of bob marley sound called 3 little birds it says dont worry about a thing. so that why i think he became a peace singer.
