 * September Musician of the Month: Carl Nielsen**

Carl Nielsen was the seventh of twelve children in a family so poor, he had to work as a child to help everyone survive. One day, when he was six years old and stuck at home, sick with the measles, his mother gave him his first violin. By the end of the day he had taught himself a few short melodies, and soon enough, an assistant teacher at his school was encouraging him to learn to read and write music. Nielsen was sold. By the time he was a teenager, he had learned to play trumpet and earned a position in the Sixteenth Battalion, a military band. That was just the beginning. Nielsen eventually became Denmark’s greatest composer, as well as a famous violinist, teacher and writer and the conductor of the country’s Royal Theatre.
