Ivan was born on a farm in Russia, but from the age of twelve to eighteen he studied
in Poland. His first music teacher couldn't play the piano but taught him and his sister
songs from the opera. His mother began to teach him the piano when he was six. At
ten, he decided that he wanted to write music too, and he soon started on his first song.

Oleg was the youngest of five children and when he was four years old his father, who
liked playing the piano, taught him some traditional Russian music. When he was six,
he started having lessons with a piano teacher who lived in the same city. Oleg soon
began to win prizes for his piano playing. At the age of fourteen, he went to a music
college in Austria for two years. Later, he returned home to Russia.

schoolboy, Rob loved the theatre and he was very happy when he had his first part in a
play. It was a very sad play by Shakespeare, the sixteenth-century English writer.
Rob played the part of an old man who had to die on stage. He practised and practised
to become good at the part. He had to lie on a bed, say a few sad words of goodbye to
his sons and then shout in pain and die.
Like all the other parents, Mr and Mrs Stone came to watch their son in the play. Rob
told his guests, 'I shall never forget that evening. It was terrible. As I died, I could hear
my father laughing! I still remember now how bad I felt and I have not asked my
father to one of my plays since.'
