Useful information

Please arrive 10 minutes early. Shoes off - these can be left along the side wall with any other belongings.
Our classes focus on providing a creative and stimulating space for children. We ask parents to relax, participate, and enjoy the class; to provide positive reinforcement for their children, and leave the rest to us!
Class sizes are limited to 10 students per class. We run mixed-age music classes as children learn best from imitating and observing other children and adults. A class in which every child is two years of age is of little benefit to any child! However, in a mixed-age environment, older children benefit from assuming a leadership role and being "experts", while younger children have appealing and accessible role models. In this environment, every child's ability will develop successfully and naturally.
Enrolment will be confirmed upon receipt of your completed enrolment form and term's fees (unless otherwise arranged).

Studio Policy and Fees

At present, we are running music classes in Frankston, Mornington, Chelsea and Berwick. However, we have many parents who come from as far afield as Red Hill, Skye, Cranbourne, Bittern and even Yarraville! We have chosen central, easy-to-find locations to ensure that they are accessible for as many parents as possible. It has been wonderful for us as teachers to observe parents socialising out of class time and building peer groups for themselves and their children. We're constantly thrilled when parents discover the wealth of experiences available from one activity!

Our Fees are $14.00 per class when term payment is made in full, or $17.00 per class if you pay on a weekly basis. Discounts apply for second child attending, so please contact us to discuss this further. All fees are payable at the first lesson of the term or earlier.

If you are unable to attend a class, we encourage you to make it up, preferably within two weeks of your child's absence.

Little Stars classes focus on providing a creative and stimulating space for children. We ask parents to relax, participate, and enjoy the class; to provide lots of positive reinforcement for their children, and leave the rest to us!
