“I have been a student at the New Mozart School of Music for as long as I can remember. I am so grateful to all of the teachers and staff who in many ways have watched me grow up… I am so thankful to my parents for connecting me to this musical world and to New Mozart for giving me the foundation to truly become a musician.“
Alisha Bernatzki studied piano, voice, & songwriting for 6 years (w/Teacher Robbie). Headed to The New School in New York.
“I really appreciate coming to New Mozart and finding teachers I could really connect with. My piano teacher, Robbie, was an amazing teacher. He really helped me discover my sound and taught me everything I know about music theory. I played only classical piano for about 5 years before I met him and he introduced me to another side of music which opened my eyes to the understanding and listening of music to another level.”
