HOW TO BE A GOOD MUSICIAN A recent report by a British psychologist [sai'kDladsist] shows that
practice is the key to musical success. Nine out of ten people don't play a
musical instrument because they think they aren't musical. However,
Professor Sloboda believes we can all be good musicians. You need a
support and help from your family, a kind teacher and
lots of practice. Professor Sloboda thinks practice makes the
difference between young people whn aro
good at music and those who aren't. Professor Sloboda spoke to 120
children in school. They all played
musical instruments. The good
musicians practised three to four
times more than the others. In fact,
the best musicians practise 5,000 to
10,000 hours before they are 18. Anc
yes — even Mozart had to practise!

Step 1. Make up your questionnaire. Use the following
questions: a) How old were you when you started, singing or playing the instrument?
b) Are your parents musical?
c) How often do you practise?
d) What instrument do you prefer? Step 2. Interview some musical people in your
class/school. Imagine they are music stars.
Step 3. Write an article about them. Step 4. Present it in the Gallery of Your Group Works.
