Congratulations to New Mozart Graduate Sophie Wu

We can’t believe time flew by so quickly! Sophie’s family came to our office inquiring about lessons over ten years ago and never looked back. We are so proud of all she has accomplished musically as well as academically. She has been participating in the CM program throughout her years at New Mozart and finished the Level 8 Certificate of Merit with State Honors and distinction. She will be attending UC Berkeley this fall. Sophie’s brother and sister are also continuing to follow in the footsteps of their sister taking lessons in piano, violin and cello.

What instrument did you study at New Mozart and for how long? I studied the piano and the violin; I started the violin in third grade but to be truthful, I don't remember when I started the piano since it's been so long.

What high school did you graduate from? Henry M. Gunn High School.

What are you doing next? I am going to UC Berkeley.

Tell us about your experience of learning music at New Mozart and how it has impacted your life. It was a great experience although I feel like I should have practiced more towards the end of my high school years. My teachers were luckily nice and cool about it. Thanks to private lessons at New Mozart, I could actually motivate myself to play things I actually enjoy playing.

Thank you for providing me a decade worth of musical experience at this school!
