Part I: Johann Sebastian Bach: Childhood and Early Years. Our new Composer of the Month is considered to be one of the greatest composers of all time. His name is Johann Sebastian Bach. Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21, 1685 in a little town in Germany called Eisenach. Bachâs father, Johann Ambrosius, was a musician. As the need arose, Ambrosius played either at the. ducal court, for the town orchestra, or as the organist in the town church.
J. S. Bach began his musical career play the violin and the harpsichord under the instruction of his father Johann Ambrosius. His uncle, Johann Christoph Bach, taught him how to play the organ. Bach was a very willing student and soon became extraordinarily capable with playing these instruments. At a young age, Bach lost a brother and sister in addition to his father and mother at age 9.
