Our passionate teachers engage young babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers and primary aged kids with music, movement, dance and fun!

Our unique curriculum is based on the Kodaly approach- learning to sight read and play by ear- which means our kids are real musos! Research shows that multi-modal learning through music and movement is essential for brain development, creativity and coordination. But even better than that, Julie Logan Music sessions are fun for kids AND their parents! Whether your little one dances when they hear music or your big kids want to learn an instrument, we nurture your child's musicality to see their imagination and confidence bloom.
