After 12 years of teaching music in classrooms and privately, helping children prepare for grade exams, I noticed something was missing. 

My students were achieving great things, but they often played alone or with me—an adult in a room—rather than experiencing the joy of playing with other kids who shared their love for music. I wanted them to feel what it’s like to be part of something bigger, to connect with others who shared the same passion, and to feel the excitement and inspiration that comes from making music together.
