Events provide many benefits for students:

• Events are fun and students are excited by the activities, the social time and the treats!

• Students who participate in events regularly are much less likely to struggle with performance anxiety

• Events provide regular deadlines which motivate efficient practice

• Students are exposed to a variety of musical styles

• Regular participation results in students feeling a sense of community and familiarity with other students and parents

Events occur monthly, typically on the last Sunday of the month, from around 6-7pm.

Events are admission by donation. Suggested donation is $10-$20 per household (depending on the event and the number of guests you are bringing). This will help cover costs such as: space rental, materials, guest performers, drinks and snacks, as well as time and preparation of teachers and organisers.

No! Participation in events can be part of exam preparation! Events are designed to correspond well with the exam categories! For example, if a student is preparing a level 10 exam, they could present their List A or B piece at the Baroque/Classical Event, List C at the Romantic Era event, List D and E and Etudes at either of the Formal concerts, or depending on the piece, at the Halloween event or Jazz event. Popular Selection Pieces would likely work for the Movies/TV/Video games event. And if the student has performed all of their pieces in public in advance of their exam, they will feel very prepared!
