Our Mission And Unique Teaching Methodology
Mondo Music's vision of teaching is based on a new, dynamic and innovative approach to learning.
Our personalized lessons go beyond conventional instruction to engage students, foster critical thinking, creativity, self-expression and self-discovery
The most traditional learning method that emphasizes the study of music notation, solfège, music theory, and rigid technique as a prerequisite to play a music instrument may not be suitable for all learners and can be excessively restrictive.
Performance Is The Cornerstone Of Our Instruction:
We are a performance-based school that believes that performing should be the starting point and not just a possible future destination for a student's music journey, regardless of whether they decide to return to the stage or experience it only once.
Special Lessons for Diverse Learning
ADHD, diverse learning styles, and the advantages of personalized music lessons
With daily routines increasingly dominated by a high-speed pace, loads of homework and other demanding school activities, phones and computers, limited time to rest and decompress, children with ADHD and those with different learning styles can easily get overwhelmed and lose interest for new learning experiences. Music here can really help them greatly.
Music, with its rhythmic and engaging nature, provides a structured form of
stimulation that enhances attentiveness, achieving a more optimal state of focus and concentration. Show Less

Our Testimonials
Jennifer
New York, USA
All three of my kids began music lessons with Valentina at just 2.75 years old, and they’ve now been studying with her for almost a year. From day one, Valentina has shown an incredible ability to connect with very young children—gently introducing them to music in a way that’s both age-appropriate and deeply enriching.
Marguerite Orsi

Valentina is energetic and gets kids excited about music. My daughter is taking voice and piano lessons with Valentina and I have seen such a difference in how engaged my daughter is and how excited she is to learn. I would recommend the school for any kids that love music.
