LITTLE CHOPINS

Little Chopins was founded in 2012 on the principle that all children are born with a potential for musical expression that needs to be nurtured and brought out from an early age in order to flourish. Abdiel has a strong conviction that every family needs to have their kids grow up in a culturally nourishing environment with lessons that are fun and speak to them in a language that is easily understandable in order to capture their attention and give them the confidence to develop their own imagination.   

The vision of Little Chopins is to give every student the essential tools to find their own means of self-expression through music and to make their minds burst with creativity. The end goal is to instill a love for music that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.

We look forward to having you and your children become part of our program!
