Music for Little Mozarts is a comprehensive piano curriculum created specifically for young beginners, typically ages 5 to 7. Developed by Christine H. Barden, Gayle Kowalchyk, and E. L. Lancaster and published by Alfred Music, the program was designed to introduce young children to the fundamentals of music in a fun, age-appropriate, and imaginative way. The curriculum follows the musical adventures of two lovable characters—Mozart Mouse and Beethoven Bear—who guide students through concepts like rhythm, pitch, dynamics, and early keyboard technique.

Originating from a need for a developmentally appropriate piano method for preschool and early elementary students, Music for Little Mozarts combines storytelling, visual aids, movement, and keyboard games to teach musical skills in a way that matches how young children naturally learn—through play, repetition, and discovery. The program is often used in both private and group lesson formats and is widely praised for making the first steps into music both educational and magical.
