The possibilities are great for the Browns, an extaordinarily musically
talented family living in White Plains, NY. All five of the Brown children
are currently attending the esteemed Juilliard School in New York City. The
fact that all of the children were accepted to the highly competitive school
is a rare achievement. Reports from professors at the school indicate that
the children are excelling there.
The Browns, a Mormon family originally from Houston, have worked to cultivate
in their children the musical talent that each was born with. Each began
piano lessons at the age of three, and each now has her or his own grand
piano to practice on. The Browns moved from Houston to Salt Lake City in
1990, and from there to White Plains when the children were accepted to
Juilliard.
It has been speculated that the family will one day be famous. The fact that
all of the children are exceptionally photogenic will not hurt. They are not
sure at this time exactly which direction they wish to take professionally,
but the opportunities for such a talented group are many.
