FAQ

  • What to expect in a class

    Our music making classes are hands-on, play based sessions that run for about 35 minutes.

    We provide immersive classes filled with beautiful percussive instruments, puppets and sensory items for your child to engage and explore.

    We’ll sit on the floor with the children (so wear something comfy), free of devices. Together we will sing and play with your child.

    These classes are as much, if not more for the benefit of parents. So prepare to be a little silly, let your guard down, and have lots of fun making music together.

  • Where are classes located?

    We offer a number of programs at various locations.

    Our weekly family classes and Sounds Like Singing women’s club are held at Making Waves OT [4/4 Torca Terrace, Mornington VIC 3931], and our city sessions are at the State Library of Victoria [328 Swanston St, Melbourne VIC 3000].

    Pop-up sessions are held in community spaces such as parks and gardens within Southeast Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula.

  • Is my child ready for private instrumental tuition?

    Many music teachers have vastly different ideas of when a child is ready for instrumental tuition. For us, we have to think firstly, not of a child's age, but of their previous musical experiences, understanding, size, and maturity. We want people to grow up LOVING their instrument and not resent it later in life.

    We believe a person is ready for instrumental lessons when:

    - They have chosen to do it.

    - They understand that practicing is important if they wish to improve. Most of the growth will occur between lessons through practice.

    - They have a good sense of beat established and can walk the beat.

    - They can sing tunefully.

    - They are physically grown enough to get around their instrument.

    We are very happy to have a chat with you about your child's readiness for private tuition. Please contact us to discuss instrumental learning.
