What we believe
Music is wonderful!
Through music, we can multiply our joy and reduce our sadness. With music, we can express feeling that we cannot express in words. Music is a wonderful tool to express our selves. At Joyful Music Studio, we have a desire to build a bridge between you and the world through music.
No end to learn music
We can all enjoy great music together regardless of our age from the newborn baby to retired grandpa. It is not too early for toddlers to start learning music and not too late for grandma and grandpa to start.
Every one has talent in music
We have met many children through music. Through their very moments, we discover their amazing talent. Joyful Music Studio is here to discover each child’s talent in music and to develop their talent.
Every one is different
Just like a personality, each child has his/her own style of learning music. At Joyful Music Studio we watch each child’s expression and behavior, we develop their skills depending on the child’s preference and personality.
