From kidznotes.org/mozart ↗About this program
The Mozart Program is what started it all. It’s a violin program for beginners in first and second grade. We work with individual schools to host a Mozart program with the general music specialist and a Kidznotes violin instructor twice per week after school. Graduating Mozart students have the option to continue their studies at the Kidznotes Nucleo.
Accepted students receive instruments and all supplies needed to be successful in class while enrolled in the program.
