Mozart and Beethoven were of the 'Classical' music era (although Beethoven actually bridged the Classical and Romantic periods), whilst Bach was purely of the Baroque era. Also, Mozart and Beethoven met each other, with Mozart actually giving Beethoven his first lesson in composition. Bach actually died six years before Mozart was even born.
His father Johann van Beethoven.His very first teacher was his father. He was also taught by a court organist Gilies van den Eeden. He was also taught by Tobias Friedrich Pfeiffer and Franz Rovantini.
No, Mozart was.
probably not- just the friends in his head!AHe was a tormented genius, and often had temper problems (probably had multiple personality disorder) but yes, he didhave friends. A tight circle of his closest friends which he trusted and confided in.
Beethoven had just one lesson in composition with Mozart before he had to return to his ailing mother. After that, he was tutored by Haydn, with whom he did not have the same rapport as Mozart. It is known that he greatly admired Mozart and would have liked to continue under his tutelage.
Yes, Beethoven was alive during Mozart's lifetime. Beethoven was 20 when Mozart died. Beethoven had visited Mozart in Vienna and played him some of his compositions. Mozart recognised that he had talent and decided that he would like to teach Beethoven. Before their lessons could begin, Beethoven's mother fell ill and he had to return to Bonn to tend to her. Before he could return to Vienna to have his lessons, Mozart had died. Further information In 1787 (at the age of sixteen), Beethoven visited Vienna where he met Mozart for the first time. Here, Mozart actually gave Beethoven his first lesson in composition before Beethoven was called back to Bonn with the news of his dying mother. Beethoven's admiration of Mozart, and this first lesson in composition, is why music from the "first period" of Beethoven's composing reflects Mozart's style.

J. S. Bach
Beethoven's first instrumental teacher was his father. He had the opportunity to go to Vienna where he met Mozart. Impressed with Beethoven's genius, Mozart gave him his first lesson in musical composition. Unfortunately, Beethoven was recalled to Bonn upon hearing of his mother's illness. By the time he returned to Vienna, Mozart had also died, and Haydn became Beethoven's next teacher.

Beethoven's early music was largely influenced by Mozart. He admired Mozart's music, and actually met him in Vienna at the age of sixteen, whereupon Mozart was so impressed by the young prodigy that he gave him his first composition lesson. Forced to return to Bonn with news that his mother was dying, Beethoven did not return to Vienna until 1792, by which time Mozart had died. Haydn then gave Beethoven further composition lessons for a short time, which is why music from this "first period" of Beethoven's composing career strongly reflects the styles of Mozart and Haydn.

Bach was born first, by more than 80 years.
Mozart didn't attend a school per se. He received his musical education from his family, as was the norm for that period of time. Often children adopted the same or similar work that their parents had or were doing at the time of their birth.
