After School Music Program
(ASMP)
Give your child the gift of music and a fun-filled afternoon every week! Our After School Music Program (ASMP) is designed to provide kids with an engaging, educational, and enjoyable experience that combines the benefits of quality music education with plenty of fun. Held from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM once a week, this 2-hour program is the perfect way to enrich your child’s after-school routine.
Why Choose the After School Music Program?
1. Fun and Structured Learning
The program has been carefully developed to align with the Australian Curriculum for primary school music, ensuring your child is learning in line with national education standards. Our interactive sessions include hands-on exploration of musical concepts such as Rhythm, Pitch, Dynamics, Form, Timbre, and Texture, setting a strong foundation for musical growth.
2. Hands-On Instrument Play
Every child gets the chance to play a range of contemporary musical instruments, including keyboards, drums, ukulele, and voice. By learning popular songs, kids stay inspired, engaged, and motivated to develop their skills in a way that feels both relevant and exciting.
3. The Proven Benefits of Music Education
Music has been shown to improve concentration, creativity, and confidence in kids. Our program combines these proven benefits with a focus on creating, composing, and active listening, giving your child an opportunity to grow both musically and personally.
4. A Fun After-School Experience
Running for two full hours, our program is ideal for parents seeking a safe, enriching, and fun environment for their children after school. It’s a fantastic way to keep kids occupied while fostering their love of music and making new friends.
