My Story
We’re just two siblings who grew up with music all around us. Started small, just piano and a lot of dreams. Now, our academy’s this wild mix of chaos and joy - ‘Joie de Vivre’, we call it. We’ve seen shy kids turn into stage stars, parents in tears, grandparents clapping. Judging competitions, meeting raw talent - that keeps us going. Sometimes it’s total madness, but hey, it’s our madness and we love it.
