Mozart Program

Our flagship beginning violin program
for grades 1-2.

About the Mozart 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 then 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.

Stay tuned for announcements about Mozart host schools in 2025-2026!
