About the founder

Hi, I’m Adrian Edward,  the author, music educator, and creator behind Color Me Mozart.

I was born in Buenos Aires and later moved to New York City. After earning my Bachelor’s in Music Performance and Master’s in Music Education from Hunter College, I taught at The Guild for Exceptional Children as well as the prestigious Collegiate School in New York City. There I worked as both a music teacher and music therapist, helping children of all abilities, including many with special needs, discover the joy of music.
 
What I saw over and over again surprised me: in too many early-learning programs, music was treated as an “extra” instead of a powerful tool for growth. The available materials were often boring, confusing, or simply not designed for children to learn music in the same way they learn language. 
 
That realization became my mission. Over the past 10 years I’ve poured everything I’ve learned into creating a music learning program that turns parents into their child’s first and most influential music teacher. My goal has always been the same: to make music accessible and joyful for every child.
 
When I’m not teaching or creating new courses, you’ll usually find me playing soccer, solving escape-room puzzles, or curled up with a good book, always chasing the next fun challenge.

HOW IT STARTED?

Color Me Mozart™ began with the desperate need for a better homeschool music curriculum solution for young children. Studies have shown that music improves many non-musical benefits in children such as enhanced language development, increased IQ, higher test scores, fine motor skills, and self-confidence.

These are skills and benefits that add to the  quality of life of all children and we feel that no child should be without a musical experience. Although many classrooms and homes share music time, sadly, most do not offer early music education

The truth is that learning fluency in music is as beneficial as learning our first language.With this in mind, the dream that every child should have access to a quality and rich early musical education was born. We believe that successful children lead to successful adults.
