OUR SCHOOL
Our teachers are friendly, dedicated, and experienced professional musicians with performing and teaching skills.
We now have over 25 qualified music teachers, with various professional backgrounds, some even have Master's Degrees and others are members of The Charlotte Symphony.
Having these many teachers in one central location helps a parent know that we can find the right match for any student.
Another advantage of our school is that we take the time to match each student with a faculty member whose teaching style best compliments each student by personality, ability, and schedule; leading to a better music lesson experience and success.
"It is not enough to be a qualified music teacher, we aim to inspire our students and personally help each one discover and grow their own talent in a suitable environment for learning music." |
HISTORY
Charlotte Music School was founded by the Director Helen Foessett. She started piano lessons at the age of 4. At the age of 5, she was admitted into the Conservatory of Music Haidee French-American in Brazil, and graduated after 13 years of studies with High Honors. Inspired by her parents, she started teaching at age of 15.
She continued her teaching and perfecting her studies in the US and Europe. She graduated with a B.A. Degree and initiated her M.A. Degree in Music Education at the University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL. There she was a pupil of Dr. Gary Wolf and Mr. Laurent Boukobza, both past and present renowned Piano Directors & Chair at UCF.
During her successful 25 plus years of teaching at her home, Helen always maintained large successful piano studios in Melbourne, Orlando, and Charlotte. Within 6 months of moving to Charlotte, Helen had 60+ students and a waiting list. She attributes this success to her proven teaching methods for a well-balanced music education, and her philosophy, which has expanded to the opening of her school.
Many of the qualities that made Helen's Piano Studio successful continue at the school: Incentive Programs, Music Technology Lab, professional recitals, and innovative tools that foster an exciting wholesome music education.
