Tell us about your experience of learning music at New Mozart and how it has impacted your life. I enjoyed learning music over all these years at New Mozart. I loved coming to New Mozart because I could hear beautiful music throughout the building. The teachers were very nurturing and caring, they taught me so much about music and everything else which really enriched my life. I'm happy that I got a great music education growing up. I hope to continue playing music when I'm away at college and I'll be thinking about my great time and the wonderful people at New Mozart.
