The owner of Bach to Rock San Diego, Mengjia Chen, is featured in the last segment. She and her husband Lee opened the school in February 2020, one month before the pandemic lockdowns. Balancing the demands of being a working mom of three young children and managing a new business amidst the pandemic presented unique challenges for the franchisee. Armed with her Master of Accounting degree and a passion for music education, Chen helped the school thrive by using her time efficiently, remaining steadfast and committed through the worst of the pandemic, and working closely with her colleagues every day.
“Our final profile features Mengjia Chen of our San Diego school. The pandemic disrupted all the plans for the school, since it had been open just one month before lockdowns,” said Brian Gross, president of Bach to Rock. “Mengjia quickly pivoted to virtual lessons and was able to jumpstart the school within a few months. Her determination and dedication to getting the school off the ground were inspirational,” added Gross.
As a busy mom to a six-year-old, four-year-old and eight-month-old, Chen has many demands on her time. The school is practically a second home to her kids, with her six-year-old already taking drum lessons and about to join a band. “Prior to the birth of my eight-month-old, I worked in the school every day. I’d bring my two oldest boys to the school with me in the afternoons. Since then, I’ve transitioned to remote oversight and regular communication with my director,” said Chen. She has found that working efficiently, in small chunks of time over the phone and online, has been essential. “I don’t wait to act – if we talk about doing something, I initiate it right away,” added Chen.
