We created the Life Inside the Music series to highlight the incredible progress children with special needs and autism are making with Color Me Mozart™. These stories inspire us to bring the benefits of music education to every child, especially those who thrive through its unique power. Would you like your child to be featured in our next episode?

"Almost all children respond to music. Music is an open-sesame, and if you can use it carefully and appropriately, you can reach into that child's potential for development."
Meet Thomas! From the moment he first touched the keyboard, his love for music was undeniable. We’ve seen incredible progress with Thomas—not only in his musical engagement but also in his behavior.
Diagnosed with ADHD and facing emotional challenges, Thomas struggled to connect with his peers. But music has been transformative, greatly improving his focus and his ability to interact with others.
We couldn’t be more proud of his journey!
Our son Thomas has autism, and finding activities that engage him meaningfully has always been a challenge. Music education has been a game-changer for him. Through learning music, he’s not only found a new way to express himself but has also developed focus and confidence we hadn’t seen before. The structured yet creative approach allows him to follow along at his own pace, and he’s even started playing songs by ear. We’ve seen improvements in his communication skills, and he genuinely lights up when it’s time for his music lessons. This program has truly unlocked a new world for him, and we’re so grateful for it!
Eric’s father shared that his love for music was always evident, but until now, he hadn’t tried composing his own melodies and songs.
From the very first day, Eric mastered his notes and took great pride in creating music himself, singing along with joy. Here, he’s playing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” like a true pro! He amazed us all by nailing every song in the book that day!
Watching my son Eric find his way through music has been incredible. It’s often been hard for him to express himself. But with music, he’s found a way to connect and communicate in a way that feels natural to him. He’s developed better focus, patience, and even confidence—all things we’d hoped to see. I love that he’s excited for his lessons and proud of the songs he learns. Music has given him something special that brings him joy, and for us, that means everything.
Edward’s mother, Maria, was always searching for activities to keep her son engaged, but many of the programs they tried didn’t challenge him enough.
That all changed when they started music. Edward quickly mastered his notes, played melodies, and even advanced beyond our Color Me Mozart program.
We’re so proud of him!
Music has made such a difference for our teenage son Edward, who has autism and developmental delays. He’s always struggled in regular classes, but with music, he’s found something he can really enjoy and understand. The lessons give him a structure he can follow, but he also gets to be creative, which has helped him open up and feel more confident. We’ve noticed he’s happier, more focused, and even interacting more with others. It’s been amazing to see him discover a skill that he’s proud of—it’s given him something special that he looks forward to every week.
Enrico’s mother was thrilled to discover Color Me Mozart for her son. She told us that while Enrico loved to sing and play hand drums, he had never tried playing a melodic instrument before.
In just a few weeks, Enrico was already playing his first songs and eagerly exploring many of the songs and rhythmic exercises.
She happily shared that he’s still playing to this day!
