2) «A Mozart» (informal) can mean a child who is very talented, especially at music. [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/M/mozart/#m2)

### sense in the lessons

In music lessons, children listen to Mozart's pieces, such as «Eine kleine Nachtmusik» and «The Magic Flute», and learn he was a child prodigy who toured Europe playing for kings. The tune of «Twinkle Twinkle Little Star» is an old French tune that Mozart wrote variations on. The claim that playing Mozart to babies makes them cleverer (the «Mozart effect») is a myth that has not held up in studies.
