Personal Statement

Kids Make Music Studio offers a natural, playful, movement oriented and child centered method of learning music fundamentals starting with it youngest students. The children are able to successfully play real songs and compose and create music of their own from the very earliest stages of their lessons.
Our goal is not to make concert pianist or professional glockenspiel players. We seek rather to make lifetime music makers out of each and every student so that no matter where they live, what their occupation, income, state of health or whatever life may bring ... music will be there for them. The universal language of life. That they may share themselves with others, that they may express themselves and that they may make life better.
