Final

In my final post I will be discussing what I learned and what I found challenging and what was the most rewarding.
What I learned about Beethoven is that during his childhood his farther made him practice and practice for seven years he practiced on the piano until his father ran out of things for him to do. When Beethoven was a child every time he did something wrong he would be grabbed by the ears and dragged to his room. This physical abuse took a toll on Beethoven's hearing and he soon became deaf. Beethoven's music was outstanding. He made his music sad and angry because he based it on his childhood life.

The most difficult and challenging about this blog is trying to find different websites that have different information. Every time I would go on a different website it had the same stuff or it would convert you to a whole different   Each website I went to had basic information that I already used. The second issue was the iPad it had some malfunctions when you paste pictures they wouldn't show up on the website. Sometimes the iPad would crash at random times and mess up what you wrote.

What was the most rewarding about this blog is that I got to learn more about this person what he did in his childhood, what his struggles were and how he handled situations. I am also happy that I got to learn more about his music and who he gave it to. Also to know when his music was preformed and what key it was in. I am glad I choose Beethoven to do my blog on. The second accomplishment  is that the blog is coming to an end and I believe I fill filled the posts.

In conclusion may main points are that Beethoven is a great conductor because no matter how hard it was for him to hear he continued to make his music stand out from the rest and touch our hearts. Further more Beethoven conducted excellent pieces and wrote magnificent music.

  2. I liked this post a lot, and it was really interesting that he was physically abused, because I really did not know that. I actually thought that he was born deaf, but now I know that he wasn't. There where a few grammatical errors, but nothing that you can't quickly change, other than that you did really well on this, and many other posts. I would strongly recommend this blog.
