Learn a new instrument

Learning to sing or play an instrument can help concentration, confidence and coordination, as well as being great fun!

Tuition and term fees

We offer standard and advanced tuition for children in school years 4 and above.

Tuition within schools

In many schools, we offer the chance for students from year 4 and above to take small group or short individual lessons in singing and various instruments. Depending on the school, these lessons may take place in a centre.

Tuition outside of schools

For children who cannot access lessons in school, we also offer weekday after-school tuition at a number of centres - shown in the table below.

Requests for this tuition will be added to a waiting list.
