Reading Next Move 2 Term II

Meet Zoe Darling

Zoe Darling is 13. She can play the piano, the violin and the guitar. She has music lessons at school, and one day she wants to be a professional musician. Dan Travis talks to her.

Zoe, what types of music do you like?

I enjoy all types of music: rock, rap, reggae, hip hop, jazz and classical, but one day I want to write music for the cinema. I love the music of Nino Rota, and I think Radiohead also wrote brilliant music for the cinema.

Do the other members of your family like music?

Yes, they do. My parents are professional musicians. My mum is a famous singer. She sings with a jazz band, and my dad plays the saxophone in the same band. My sister plays the trumpet, but she doesn’t like jazz. She prefers classical music, and her favourite musician is the classical trumpet player Alison Balsom.

Do you go to any music festivals?

Yes, I do. Of course, my parents perform at festivals all over the world, but never in the summer holidays. That’s when they take my sister and I to festivals in Britain and Europe. We go to a lot of concerts. For example, last weekend Dad and I went to hear Jan Garbarek.

Can you tell our readers something about Garbarek? Few young people know about him.

He’s a brilliant jazz musician, but he also plays New Age music. He’s the greatest!

Hi Lucille!

            How are you? Are you enjoying your holiday? I’m having the most brilliant time of my life here in Austria! I’ve seen some amazing cities and towns, I’ve climbed mountains and I’ve gone sailing. I’ll show you my photos when I get back home.

            Two weeks ago we were in the Tyrol. That’s a part of Austria with a lot of high mountains. We stayed with some Austrian friends. They have a small house in a valley near a waterfall. It was very romantic! There wasn’t any snow in the valleys, but there was a lot at the top of the mountains. I really want to come back here in the winter and go skiing.

            Last week we were in Klagenfurt in the south of Austria. Klagenfurt is a small city on a lake, and the river Glan goes through it. There are forests on the hills around the city, and there are mountains a few kilometres away. We went sailing on the lake and I must say, the water was very clean.

            At the moment we’re in Vienna. In my opinion, it’s the most beautiful city in Europe. The buildings are amazing. The food here is very tasty and we’ve eaten at some good restaurants. Mum loves the schnitzel, Dad loves the goulash and I love the cakes!

            On Friday we’re flying home, and I’ll tell you all about it when I see you on Saturday.
