Most people think that classical music is too elevated for children.
It comes as no surprise that parents shy away from introducing their children to names like Mozart, Chopin or Bach, even though they would love to. However, studies have shown that playing classical music to children increases their concentration and self-discipline. After all, there’s nothing wrong with a child having a wider range of music.
We were surprised to come across a band of four siblings who play Mozart flawlessly.
After watching them floating through notes effortlessly, your child might feel encouraged to pick up a string instrument!
The Stars Aligned Siblings recently won 3rd place in the Piero Farulli Internationa Competition for Young String Quartets.
They also received an award for being the youngest ensemble in the competition!
Breshears parents can be proud of their children, their talent, and hard work paid off.
As it turns out, the two brothers and two sisters are all under the age of 14.
Imagine that!
Dustin, the oldest child, is 13 years old. He’s already an accomplished violinist, who began with violin classes at the age of 4. His sisters, Starla and Valery, are 12 and 11. Valery is also a violinist, and Starla plays the cello. The three were known as Little Stars Trio before their youngest sibling decided to join the group. Colin is only 8 years old, and he already plays viola like a pro.
The music is in their blood, that’s for sure.
Stars Aligned Siblings have toured internationally at festivals and events all over the world. These talented little ones have appeared on NBC TV’s Little Big Shot with host Steve Harvey, and that’s when they introduced themselves to a larger audience.
The siblings began posting on YouTube in 2013, and their page now has 1.36K subscribers!
Each of them has performed as a soloist with numerous orchestras around the globe. Because of the quarantine, the kids now hold virtual concerts for their fans. The video of them playing “A Little Night Music” by Mozart is one in the series of virtual concerts.
Judging by the comments section, their mission is showing results.
One user commented that “parents ought to be congratulated for instilling classical music into the lives of their children.” We completely agree.
It’s hard to decide which one is more beautiful–their playing or the fact that they play together.
All of the siblings are constantly giving each other their moment in the spotlight, and we love it.
If you thought that siblings can’t get along, watch this quartet for a little inspiration!
Mozart’s famous composition is admired for its lively and joyful melodies, and we have to mention that children bring out the joy with their playing.
The video was filmed at their house, and we love the elegant outfits.
Just look at the little brother, in his little tuxedo! His poise is unbelievable. All four siblings attend the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Pre-College Divison, and the siblings were all taught in the Heifetz tradition of chamber playing by Ayke Agus, the accompanist of the legendary Jascha Heifetz. If you want to know more about the quartet, visit their official webpage.
We were amazed by the joy written all over their faces while they play.
Stars Aligned Siblings seem to use music to communicate without words, and it must be one of the most special bonds we’ve ever seen.
Keep up the good work, boys and girls! We can’t wait to cover more of your success stories.
