The secret of any good music school is of course how well they pick their teachers. At The Mozartina we do not hire anyone unless we are absolutely sure we have found the right person for the job. We look for teachers who are skilled performers as well as dedicated teachers. They must also be able to naturally connect with their students, be they age 5 or 95. Over the years we have been blessed with amazing teachers, most of whom have become dear friends. Here is our current roster:
