What families say

Anna spent the whole first lesson on how our daughter was sitting and holding her hands before a single note of the actual piece. Six months later I understand why. Her posture is better than mine.

Marcus showed my son a chord shape on his own guitar rather than just telling him where to put his fingers. Small thing, made a real difference in how fast it clicked.

Great teaching and the annex holds the noise well, no complaints there. The car park behind the hall is tight at pickup time and we usually end up circling for a spot.

Ingrid told us plainly that a song my daughter loved was out of her range this year and picked something else instead. Not what we wanted to hear at the time, the right call in hindsight.

Watching twelve kids actually lock into the same phrase in that hall is something else. Took about a year of individual lessons to get there but it was worth the wait.

Reuben let my son sit at the actual desk and mix his own guitar take rather than doing it for him. He came home talking about compression like it was a new hobby.

Our daughter got put in a band with three kids she had never met and they are genuinely good now, six months in. The weekly coach in the room made the difference early on.

First recital nerves and all, watching him get a full minute on a real stage at the Verandah Theatre was worth every Tuesday drive across town for lessons.

Anna told us our son was not ready for grade three yet and to sit grade two this round instead. He passed comfortably and did not burn out on it, which is more than I can say for a friend's kid elsewhere.

The trial felt like a real lesson, not a sales pitch. We enrolled the same afternoon and the thirty five dollars came off the first invoice like they said it would.

Solid teaching and a lovely room. We had a term with a fill in teacher while Anna was on leave and it took a few weeks to settle back into the usual routine when she returned.

Switched from acoustic to electric halfway through the year and Marcus just adjusted the lesson plan without any fuss. The practice amps in the annex are better than what we have at home.

The hire violin saved us buying a full sized instrument two sizes too early. Damon measured her arm himself before recommending the size.

Booked a one off session to record a piece for a school assignment and Reuben had it mixed and sent home the same afternoon. Better quality than we expected for the price.

The recording booth is a proper glass room, not a corner with a blanket over it. My daughter still listens back to her end of term recording from last year.
