Our Hong Kong Roots
Founded in 1988 by music educator, Dr. Wai Tat Wong, Greenery Arts (originally under the name of Greenery Music) operates with the purpose of not only educating musicians and artists of all disciplines, but also with the focus of improving the quality of their characters through the development of physical and spiritual health, hoping to achieve "one person, one instrument, and one art,” in all artistic expressions. Core tenets of the school also promote cultural and ethnic harmony, and world peace. Today the school operates under three different departments: the Hong Kong Academy of Art, Artiste Star Dance School, and Greenery Music. More........................
