Terrific Team of Teachers

Mrs. Mary Bolouri is the President and CEO of Music for Life Kids.  It was in 2004 when she was in college working at her parents childcare center in Ohio, watching the children free play with blocks and cars, when she decided that Music had to become an integral part of early childhood education.  Over the next several years in business, she came to see what she had already experienced for herself, and this is that Music Changes Lives!  Since then it has become her lifelong mission to bring Music to Kids Everywhere!  In 2010 she brought her time tested programs from Ohio to Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC.  She is currently expanding the fleet up and down the east coast starting with the Sunshine State. To date Music for Life Kids teaches at over 150 school locations and 3000 kids per week, and growing.    

Mary loves it when she is able to get into the classroom and teach!  She began learning piano when she was 4 years old and started writing her own compositions when she was just 5 years old.  She informally began teaching her cousins to play different instruments when she was 11 years old. Since then, she was awarded a scholarship to play French horn at the Catholic University of America.  She then studied under Matthew Mayhem, Associate Principal French Horn player of the Cleveland Orchestra.

She attributes the company’s remarkable success to her amazing teachers, solely recognizing it takes a great team of many to touch and change so many children’s lives through music.
