On what it means to study music...
ìThe best nights in my house are when there's no TV on, no computer on ñ and I hear music coming from all the different rooms at my house. That's how I envisioned having children would go.î -Rosemarie Tishelman, Amadeus parent, artist, piano student and mother of three Amadeus students
"For Kristen and me, music is very special and important. It is important to us that our children get in touch with some sort of artistic creativity. When our older son was 9 or 10 years old, he was having some trouble in school. The best thing for Matt was to get in touch with what it meant to be world class in something. He picked up the gauntlet at Amadeus with very good guitar teachers, attended Juilliard and Wesleyan, and graduated a senior honoree. He played in Germany, Turkey and Tuscany. He learned to get straight A's in school through his experiences studying music at Amadeus. For Matt to really excel, he needed to learn to excel at a world class level. He learned what it took to be challenged and to complete something. He realized how to achieve something of his own potential."
-Louis Linder, Amadeus parent
"I always put my eggs in the basket of personal growth. I'm not playing against you- I'm playing against the course. And I'm the course."
-Clifford Carter, Pianist for James Taylor, Art Garfunkel, Four Tops and father of Amadeus piano student Allegra Carter
