Entrepreneur opens music school in Mitchell’s Plain
Cape Town – Self-taught pianist, Trevino Isaacs, 26, took his mastery of music to the community of Mitchell’s Plain by opening a music school teaching children as young as seven years old the appreciation and love for music.
Isaacs started playing piano at the age of nine, and has been playing professionally since 15. The demand for music lessons was such that he started offering lessons from his mother’s living room.
“The interest grew to such an extent that when I approached two of my friends who studied music, with the idea of opening a music school, my dream of teaching others became a successful business now celebrating its fourth year.
“Music has been and still is the only work I know. There are many students in the Woodlands and Mitchell’s Plain area who simply can’t afford to study music and our quality affordable training is giving them the chance to master instruments and grow their natural talent.”
Isaacs said their Mitchell’s Plain Music Academy offers a safe environment where children can live a life free of violence, drugs and alcohol. For many it’s a way out of poverty and uncertainty by developing their natural talent into something with purpose.
