Harmony Road: A Revolutionary Approach to Early Music Education

For over two decades, New Mozart’s Harmony Road program has redefined how young children learn piano. Our innovative method makes music education fun, intuitive, and deeply engaging, helping children discover the joy of music in a way that feels natural and exciting.

Age-Appropriate Classes for Every Stage
We tailor our classes to suit the developmental needs of each age group:

  • Music in Me & More Music in Me (3-4 years old)

  • Harmony Road 1 (5-6 years old)

Our approach is simple yet powerful: children learn piano the same way they learn to walk, talk, and dance—through play, exploration, and joyful discovery. By combining movement, singing, and hands-on activities, we create a dynamic learning environment where young musicians thrive.

“I loved that Abi made so much progress on learning the keyboard, even though she was having so much fun she didn’t even notice she was learning. She went from ‘hunt and peck’ to playing with five fingers on both hands. At age 3!”
— Andrea C. Abigail's mom
