My goal is to bring happiness to you and your child's life.
In times where anxiety and stress levels among children and youth are at an all-time high, I make it my mission to create a space for children to grow up as happy, emotionally-resilient and creative individuals.
With real connections, friendship and play being replaced by television, tablets and iPhones, I provide children with opportunities to connect with peers, to form real friendships and to grow up as socially competent, responsible human beings. Hans-Peter Becker, once a professional drummer, now educator, author and entrepreneur, made it his mission to connect the world with music – and he’s succeeding. He is the founder of the Modern Music School, which is one of the largest music schools in the world. In its more than 80 international branches, Modern Music School has taught more than 100,000 musicians in Germany, US and Greece since 1987.
