Mozart was always involved with music, even as a youth. His father Leopold had been a composer, violinist and concert master. He expected the same from his son and Wolfgang did not disappoint. He learned to play a number of instruments, and performed from the time he was six or seven years old. By the time he was in his early twenties, he was hired as a composer and an assistant concert master, working with various musicians and orchestras; he also wrote church music, including the well-received "Coronation Mass." Later, he taught music, continued to perform professionally; he also continued to compose popular works like "The Magic Flute." Because his compositions were frequently performed by well-known orchestras, and his sheet music was purchased by the many people who wanted to learn how to play his songs, he was able to make a respectable living.
