Say it like a maestro: (Frants Shoo-bert)

You might not recognise the name Franz Schubert, but you’ve definitely heard his famous song Ave Maria! It’s been in movies and TV shows like Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Simpsons, and even SpongeBob SquarePants!

Franz Schubert loved music from a young age, and he was really good at it too! He played many instruments, and he could sing like an angel. But his father had other ideas. He wanted Schubert to be a teacher, just like him.

Even when Schubert became a teacher, he never stopped making music. He continued to compose songs and symphonies whenever he could! One day, he made a big decision—he quit his job as a teacher and decided to follow his dream of becoming a composer, which was what he truly loved! His choice led him to become one of the most famous composers to have ever lived.
