2026 Spring Break Program
Spring Break Program has extended hours now!
April 20 - 23, 4pm-5:30 pm.
REGISTER for extended hours if you need tutoring for homework, mentoring music practice, or simply more time to care your children.
Whether your children start the music journey just this year or 8 years ago, they can always create their own music, and more importantly share the musical heart to a crowd of audience. At Mindful Musicians, we turn the young performance dream to a real stage! The 2026 spring break program is designed for children who love to be creative with music, play instruments or sing. We are a place where young musicians can compose their original music, play music in a group, listen to influential classical pieces and learn their backgrounds, and a lot more!
There are three key words in our program: Composition, Music Appreciation and Mindfulness.
Composition: previous composition experience not required. Children will be guided to put musical ideas together in organized ways. In the final performance, they can play their own music, or have their music presented by others, or participate as a part.
Music Appreciation: We play and introduce famous classical works to our participants.
Mindfulness: We teach breathing, stretching, listening and singing techniques that help children relax both the body and the mind.
We can’t say enough about how much we care about character, creativity and participation in our mindful musicians. Every child is creative in their own ways. We would love to provide an environment where our participants can build their intrinsic musicianship in a fun and inspiring way within a friendly community.
This program is for children with entry-level or advanced-levels music experience. They should be able to recognize basic musical elements (such as pitch levels, rhythmic patterns, melody lines) by listening. We suggest that the participant has at least one year of instrument or voice learning experience.
