Mozart Academy

[Brayan Jacobsen]

Theacademy is owned and operated by Dr. Michael Berthelot, who holds a masters and Ph.D in music composition from LSU. He also completed the alternative teacher education program at Southeastern Louisiana University, and holds a Level 3 teaching certificate.

His wife and co-owner, Dorela Hyka-Berthelot, graduated from the Academy of Arts in her native country, Albania, and received a masters from LSU. She has performed as a cellist around the world, including with the Louisiana Philharmonic in New Orleans and the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra.

Instructors Allison Alexander and Tyler Barbier began studying music with Dr. Berthelot at a young age. Alexander now teaches in Plaquemine, while Barbier teaches in both Plaquemine and Donaldsonville.

Mark Dupont of Plaquemine started out in music at an early age, eventually performing by age 12. A graduate of St. John High School, he has volunteered for more than a decade leading the school's drum corps.

Just as in music, complicated ideas can be turned into simplicity. The current academies have been building systems for quality. That includes all aspects of the business, whether it be the accounting side or the instructors.
