My daughter and I have been studying piano at Davies Music School for a couple of years now.We took our AMEB exams and p...assed with very good grades, thanks to Steve. I know of cases where kids switch music schools and come to Steve when their AMEB exams are near in order to pass the AMEB with good grades. Steve encourages kids with prizes motivating them to practice more. Steve also conducts concerts every 6 months to encourage kids to play in front of crowds thereby boosting their confidence.

My kids love to spend time at Artz, both all of their term time classes and holiday program. The teachers are wonderful and the very high quality of teaching means that they learn quality skills - in dance, singing and drama- whilst having heaps of fun.

Highly recommended Performing Art School!THANK YOU to Ms Ziggy & her team who have brought out the best of our girls. Alex who use to be serious, shy & reserve has become more confident & assertive. Ashlee - my naturally "drama queen" has flourished & improved her focus. We watch them both develop their skills & technique, enjoying fun every minute at Artz Collective. A great sense of community & "family-like" school. Ms Ziggy, her team & instructors are approachable - showing love, care & attention for our children. We look forward to the next term.

Artz Collective is a fabulous Performing Arts school, offering a variety of different dance styles, catering for children and adults, including Ballroom Dancing and a very popular Irish Dance class. Artz Collective offer high calibre dance teachers, who are professional yet down to earth. The students adore all the teachers. The nurturing nature of the school (teachers, students and parents) make you feel like you are part of a very caring "dance family", which is wonderful for our daughter, and us as a family, to be a part of. The teachers have really helped to ignite a passion for dance in my daughter and she attends all her dance classes with great enthusiasm. During school holidays, the Holiday Program is full of creative fun and variety. It exposes the participants to dancing, singing and acting. The Holiday Program is suitable for both current students or children that have not had prior experience at this school. A lot of the activities are student driven to really get their creative juices flowing! We are big fans of the Artz Collective Performing Arts School!!

By Emma H (Aged 10 years) Some of the things that I really enjoyed about the Artz Collective Holiday Program was the different variety of activities we did. We did: Dancing - Hip Hop and lots of Broadway. Singing - We sang a song from "Annie" and made up an act / dance routine for it. Acting - We made up our own plays and performed in front of the parents. (One of the plays involved 5 of us dressing up as one big Mole in a big black blanket = lots of fun!) Theatre - On one day we all went to the Hawthorn Town Hall to see the pantomime of Cinderella (Starring our very own Miss Ziggy!!!) I really loved the holiday program and I can't wait to do the next one!!

I highly recommend Wendy Brentnall as a music teacher. She has inspired my son by encouraging him in ...

On retirement from work I promised myself that I would learn how to play the guitar which is something I had been thinking about for years. I was fortunate that I chose Wendy's Music School. My tutor,Scott, has assisted me greatly with clear, informative lessons and has also shown the necessary patience with me. I appreciate the fact that there is no pressure and Scott's calming influence has been most beneficial. I'm looking forward to many years playing my guitar and thank Wendy and Scott for their input. The saying "You are never too old to learn" is so true.

My son has been learning piano from Wendy for more than one year, and he loves it so much! Wendy is an amazing teacher and obviously has a lot of experiences of teaching young kids. She has been passionate, patient and very helpful. I have recommended her to my son's friend as well and the little boy absolutely loves her lesson too. Thanks Wendy for all the efforts you put to build up the interest of my son in playing piano and in enjoying music!

When my 9-year old daughter Isabella showed an interest in taking up piano, Wendy Brentnall was recommended to me as a teacher who was patient, fun and skilled. Wendy is a gifted pianist and instructor whose passion for music inspires audiences and students alike. Over the past 12 months she has identified and nutured Isabella’s musical strengths and used this enthusiasm to address some of the more challenging areas of music theory. Wendy has truly connected with Isabella by tailoring her teaching methods to where she knows will keep Isabella’s interest. Her ability to use a range of tools (including iPhone apps), insight and a sense of humor to teach and instil her methods is truly impressive to watch. She also makes learning piano fun and interesting by allowing Isabella to choose some of her own pieces, and by using rewards to give her a sense of accomplishment. She even engages Isabella in timely challenges – from her first Piano Preparatory Exam (with a Final score of 100%) to the Christmas concert – to give her the skills and confidence needed with her instrument! Over the last year, she has also inspired and motivated Isabella to strive for new goals in her playing repertoire! Wendy has helped my daughter to appreciate the joy of piano playing, confidently understand music theory and, most importantly, enjoy music and love to go to lessons! Her piano playing is a welcome addition to our home and it is lovely to hear the progress she continues to make under Wendy’s instruction. Wendy is a gifted and enthusiastic teacher and I would highly recommend her as a piano teacher capable of helping your child develop a love for music, self-confidence and an understanding of the dedication and practice necessary to do well with their chosen instrument. – Sarah Riitano, Parent

My son James has been attending Lantern League for nearly 2 years and JUST LOVES IT. A little shy at Primary School, Lantern League has allowed his inner self to shine and this has resulted in a confident , young man, who feels much more comfortable voicing his opinions. As a result of Lantern League and the way the students are taught, James won an impromptu speaking award last year out of a minimum of 100 participating students. I would highly recommend Lantern League to any parent: Lantern League teaches public speaking skills and is something that will put any child ahead of the rest.

11-10-2016

My daughter (aged 10) has just loved this space. She gets to curiously probe into the world of public speaking and performing and since starting has taken on a public speaking role at school and is growing in confidence all the time. The emphasis on building your inner shine instead of copy cat performing is just great! Super confidence building.

Esther is a nice teacher. She engaged the children and parents. It is a good way of bonding. Both my son and I enjoyed the lessons we attended.

Scott is a great teacher and I am really enjoying my lessons with him. Thank you Scott!

19-08-2016

My son has been learning with Scott for about a year and he is absolutely enjoying his lessons. He has been able to learn techniques that his previous teacher weren't able to teach and we are very happy with Scott's teaching method. We would highly recommend Scott to any one who is thinking of learning drums.

We love heading along to kindermusik each week. The selection of folk music is fabulous and Robyn is a fabulous and enthusiastic facilitator.

10-04-2014

We love our Kindermusik class with Robyn...my son responds so well to all the different musical activities Robyn steps through each lesson and he has so much fun. The 'at home' activities reinforce each lesson as well as familiarising him with the material so he can participate freely and happily. Robyn is an amazing teacher who is able to get the best out of every child.
