ART OF MUSIC
Awaken The Creative Mind

Part of the introduction to the Great Masters Bach, Mozart and Beethoven will include performances of some of their music. These are a select few of the more simpler pieces that should demonstrate minimally the usage of the Left and Right hand in coordination with each other in a musical and expressive manner. This is an absolutely microscopic window into the almost infinite creativity and pinnacle of mastery of these extraordinary musical geniuses, but should provide the general public an easy and pleasing introduction to the Great Masters.
