Christine
is an extraordinary teacher working with an amazing program.
She has the keen ability to make the class fun yet challenging...
-Jean C. Nia's mom-
It's
really hard for 6-year-old boys to take an hour music class and
never get bored. But Christine has successfully accomplished
the Mission Impossible. -Sherri M. Jonathan and
Jeffrey's mom-
I
am thrilled and happy that my children have access to these classes
as such a young age. We are so fortunate to have this
amazing school in our community. -Malin

Our students experience
& do much more than composing
Music
in Me(3-4), students learn:
keyboard georgraphy, solfege singing, 3-4 piano pieces(4-8 measures)
by ear, find high & low notes, draw line & space notes,
learn even more note values, solfege on the piano and much more.
These
specific formal
instructions infused seamlessly between singing and rhythm instrument
play(informal instructions) ensure that our children learn pianistic
and other important musical skills while having a lot of fun.
By
the end of the 1st semester of Harmony Road(K-2nd),
our students play approximately 8-10 piano pieces (3 of them
with both hands), Read notes on the Bass & Treble clef,
learn simple harmonization techiniques to start writing &
playing their own songs on the piano and sing lots of additional
songs.

TESTIMONIALS
"I
am a professional, classically trained singer who has performed
regularly at the New York Metropolitan Opera for the past 10 years...
I
have spent a lot of time in music classes for my young daughters,
and The New Mozart School of Music is absolutely unique
in its approach to teaching music to young children...unlike
other classes, every song and game is building a solid foundation,
teaching the language of music that can be applied to any form
of music that a child will undertake in the years to come...I
am thrilled and happy that my children have access to these classes
at such a young age.
We
are so fortunate to have this amazing school in our community."
