Creating pianists
Being a distinguished pianist herself, it was the easiest thing for her to raise many reputable future pianists. By starting early, now it has become even easier for students and teachers to search and develop together.
Dreamed of becoming a pianist? A singer? A violinist? You don’t have to have a special talent to love music. It is stimulating enough for a little child to be listening, exploring, touching, making sounds, singing, imagining to develop an extraordinary sense in music.
Why Mozart?
Born in 1756 in Salzburg, Austria, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart started piano at an early age with his father, and by watching his sister practice piano, he was already fluent in a musical language by three years old. Mozart is an iconic figure for many young and emerging artists. He started composing at age five and left us with much unforgettable music that still lives with us today.
That being said, Mozart program suggests our mission in developing quality early childhood education to preschool students. For children who are not yet ready to be dropped off, we offer the “Little Mozart Movement” for infants and caregivers to attend during our sessions.
