“The Science of Music is the resource my father wished he had when I was a child-musician. He passionately wanted to be a part of my musical journey, but struggled with his limited knowledge of music. Helping parents like him was my inspiration to create the Science of Music program."
~ Dr. Marcin Bela, the instructor.
