Melbourne Performing Arts Academy

"It was a strange experience with this place. When I inquired about violin classes for my daughter, their initial response was "I would suggest starting with a Multi Instrumental class where she can explore all the instruments, including Violin, and then decide before you buy an instrument, whether she does want to learn it or a different instrument." We booked for a multi-instrumental class as suggested, the teacher let us try some instruments but did not know violin, which was a bit surprising. Despite this, my child remained enthusiastic about learning the violin. Later, when we reached out again about the violin class timetable, there was no response for 3 weeks then the same person informed us that they could only do piano lessons without any further explanation. It left us a bit perplexed."

"I had long wanted to learn the piano, and sadly the pandemic put the plan on the backburner. Having finally begun, I took a chance on this music school and have not been disappointed. Irina is a wonderful teacher and person, with many creative ways to facilitate and also consolidate learning on the school's beautiful baby grand piano. The communication on all levels, between the school's administration to confirm lessons and rearrange lessons if need be, as well as the communication in the lessons is fantastic. If you've been thinking of starting but have struggled to make the first step, or want to build upon existing skills, give these people a go, you won't regret it!"

"I have been meaning to write a review for sometime. My children have attended this music school since they were 3 and have both enjoyed the diverse range of musical experiences over the years. They are now almost 6 and 7. Natasha and all the teachers are passionate about music and the children's musical experiences. We've been very fortunate to have found them. Thank you Natasha"

"My kids have absolutely loved learning music at the Melbourne performing arts academy and have tried out many of the different courses on offer. Natasha is so accomodating and the staff are always professional and friendly. They really nurture each child’s strengths, promoting confidence in the children and their activities are interesting, current and engaging. Highly recommended!"

"I would highly recommend, this amazing unique music academy. My son has attended since he was 4 years old till now he is 8 years old. He has being involved in the choir who performed in the town hall in Melbourne. To performing at the amazing Christmas school concert at the end of the year. The teachers are friendly and very talented. The school director is a wealth of knowledge and is that key to why, the school is such a success along side her wonderful teachers."
