Dear New Mozart Families, and Friends,

Welcome to October and the beauty of the fall season!

With Halloween on the horizon, we're looking forward to seeing our students in festive costumes next week.

2021 is off to a great start. Our classrooms are filling up again with many returning and new students and our exceptional teachers eagerly sharing their knowledge and love of music with them. Online lesson students and teachers are also thriving with the convenience of connecting and making music at home. The pandemic has taught us that music shall always live on.

In this month's newsletter, we are featuring some of our recent graduates most of whom have been with us for over a decade. Be sure to scroll down to read what they are doing next.

The recital season is coming up with our first concerts on Dec. 11 & 12. All concerts will be held online for the time being, and we hope to resume in person concerts when younger children are able to receive their vaccines.

In this season of changes and beautiful colors, we're grateful for our wonderful families and their commitment to musical excellence. Thank you for making music with us. It is an honor to be a part of your family's musical journey.

With Gratitude,

Back to School Edition

Roshelle B performs at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts on June 13, 2019

Dear New Mozart Families and Friends:

We want to welcome both returning and new students to New Mozart.  

Last year this time, we were busy finishing our expansion at the College Terrace campus feeling unbounded optimism. 

This year, we are busy fine-tuning and improving online teaching and learning tools. Our dedicated teachers and staff are continuing to spend countless hours perfecting the craft of distance learning and pedagogy to ensure the highest quality music lessons for our students. 

Music’s ability to console, heal, and transcend has never been more important than today as we continue to shelter in place.

Thank you for allowing us to teach and inspire our students online until we are able to return back to our beautiful campus. Your support and love mean so much to all of us. We will continue to do all we can to enrich our students’ musical and emotional development using available tools and technology.

We are eager to embark on this journey together to reach for the higher expression of ourselves through music and dwell in Possibility.

With Gratitude,

Christine Shin

“We are the music-makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams. World-losers and world-forsakers, Upon whom the pale moon gleams; Yet we are the movers and shakers, Of the world forever, it seems.” -Arthur O'Shaughnessy

Dear New Mozart Families & Friends:

As we enter the 2nd month of 2020, we’re continuing on our commitment to spread the joy of music with more families in the Peninsula. We may be on the right path; 51 new private lesson students joined us in January alone!

In addition to welcoming many new private lesson students, the spring semester of Harmony Road began with over 130 of our youngest students and the long awaited New Mozart Choir for children 6-13 began this Monday with great success.

We want to thank all of our continuing and new families for entrusting us with your musical expansion. We look forward to making more music with you in February and beyond.
