Head Start Activity Books
Head Start is one of the few early years music programs that has its own activity books tailored precisely to the Head Start curriculum.
Activities are age appropriate, including lots of colouring, drawing, and stickers.
Your child will love the activities that directly support and reinforce learning that is achieved in class.
YOUR ADVANTAGE
"I love everything: the environment in the school, the opportunities with the recitals which have been amazing for her confidence, the additional lessons offered, the rewards chart, the videos of the lessons which are super helpful when practicing and the passion of all of the staff. Thank you Steve, you have created a wonderful music school here and we are delighted to be a part of it. There is nothing better to hear than Maya letting us know that piano is her absolute favourite class!"

QUALIFIED TEACHERS UNDER
QUALIFIED LEADERSHIP
Your child's learning is in the good hands of our engaging, encouraging, tertiary-educated, and experienced instrumental teachers, some of whom are qualified classroom teachers. Your teacher is under the leadership of an award-winning and qualified educational leader with over 20-years' combined instrumental and tertiary teaching experience who works very closely with all of our teachers and with whom you can communicate directly.
INDIVIDUALISED LEARNING
At the centre of everything we do are the best interests of each individual student. Our teachers strategise with you to ensure that all learning needs are being met. The scope, pace, content, and approach are adjusted according to the needs, interests and goals of each student.
CLEAR & REGULAR COMMUNICATION
Your child's progress and weekly expectations and goals are regularly and clearly communicated to you, both in person at each lesson and through classroom management apps. Our teachers will make videos of practice techniques so that your child (and you) know exactly what is expected, how to do it and what quality looks and sounds like.
