"The majority of people quit at the first sign of difficulty. Most within hours. Some in days to weeks. Few last a year. But a different kind of person, a rare kind, persists a lifetime. Not from stubbornness, not from obligation, but from purpose.

​​​​

Such a kind of person is an artist, and an artist's purpose is to create.

​​​

An artist never compromises in the quality of preparation in their work. An artist never tries only until failure. An artist always continues to improve, in spite of success. That is a true artist's mentality.

​

This is the mindset we instill in our students, no matter what future paths they choose. At Young Artists Foundation, we prepare students for a lifetime of excellence. By teaching classical music, we cultivate the next generation of exceptional minds through purpose, through preparation, and through persistence."
