The culmination of piano and vocal performance, studio teaching, student mentoring and many years teaching young Montessori students led to the design and philosophy behind Montessori Mozarts.
Watch us Grow!
Montessori Mozarts was founded in 2005 by Professor Maureen Harris through incorporating the leading approaches and philosophies that influence early childhood, music and movement education today.
In 2008, due to the growing demands of the students, Montessori Mozarts Elementary was created to serve the needs of those wishing for more formal instruction.
In 2009 our teacher mentoring program was launched in conjunction with the University of Windsor’s Bachelor of Education Teacher Graduate Program.
Montessori Mozarts has been offering music lessons at the Children’s House Montessori daycares since their opening, and in 2013 Montessori Mozarts began offering music lessons at Lakeview Montessori School in Lakeshore.
The teachers at Montessori Mozarts continue this legacy at our four lesson locations, and a number have distinguished themselves in competitions and performances. In addition, many of Professor Harris’s former students hold teaching positions at recognized institutions.
Once the pandemic hit in 2020, Montessori Mozarts staff needed to get creative so they could continue teaching. As the team worked together, the virtual platform was introduced so that they could continue bringing the gift of music into as many lives as possible.
As the pandemic continued into 2021, the Montessori Mozarts community came together and participated in virtual recitals to show support for all the young learners who continued to work hard.
The team of educators made it through to 2022 and acquired a space to call their own next to Lakeview Montessori School. This location provides a bright and beautiful music space for it’s staff and young learners.
