Music school aims to hit the right notes in hiring and data mining

MENTION music lessons and many Singaporeans will have flashbacks of being forced to learn the piano or violin as a child.

But if the Holmefjord-Sarabi brothers have their way, the next generation will grow up learning and enjoying music well into adulthood.

Nurturing a passion for music through a quality music education is the goal of the founders of Aureus Academy, Lawrence and Julius Holmefjord-Sarabi. A year apart in age, the American brothers grew up with vastly different interests - one in music and the other in IT - but remained close even when Lawrence came to Singapore to pursue piano studies at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music.
