When we were expecting our first and only child (Tommy), we attended a lecture at the Atlanta Symphony entitled "Music and the Mind." We were astounded at the profound impact that learning music had on developing brains and began to act on it.  As first time parents, we wanted the best for our son so we enrolled him in baby music class and lessons. He enjoyed music and did well with it, but he also loved karate and baseball. However, we began to notice some things that were lacking from his other activities. When he started kindergarten, we went back to school to study music at Pensacola State College. We started giving lessons and incorporating everything we knew from our studies and other life experiences. People were happy with the positive method that we used and we wound up with many students. After 2 years we outgrew our home and decided to build Minds On Music (M.O.M.). Since then, every single decision we make at M.O.M. is based on what we wanted for our son. We continue to use this “parent mindset” in our choices because we all want what is best for our kids.
