Johann & Lydia Solomon
Music Central is the heart song of Lydia and Johann Solomon. A musical couple, who by their common love of music and love of teaching, have established a place where aspiring musicians can discover the gift of music within themselves and share it with the world whichever way they choose to.
We believe that music cannot be forced on anyone, but can only be realized with proper guidance, attention and care.
Music Central is the place for anyone wanting to realize the gift of music within.
