Making music in schools as simple as ABC!

ABC MUSIC INSTRUMENTAL PROGRAMS–

We are very excited to announce the introduction of a new instrumental music program at St Kevin’s Primary School, commencing in Term 1 of 2026.

Music education offers numerous benefits, including the development of cognitive abilities, stimulation of creativity, improved emotional well-being, and the cultivation of teamwork and discipline. Our team of dedicated instructors is passionate about fostering young talent and creating a supportive learning environment for every student.

Since 2006, ABC Music Group has taught over 10,000 primary school students across the Melbourne metropolitan area. We are committed to the transformative power of music and strive to cultivate a joyous environment where students can progress toward their musical aspirations. It is incredibly rewarding for us to help students discover their unique musical styles and nurture their creativity.

Our students benefit from small group lessons, with a maximum of four students per weekly 30-minute session held during school hours. These sessions provide a valuable opportunity for students of different skill levels to play together as an ensemble, developing essential skills such as rhythm, timing, and melody.

We believe that learning a musical instrument is enhanced in a group environment. This setting builds self-esteem and teamwork, encouraging students to advance alongside their peers and even form their own "bands." Paired and private lessons are also available. Group lessons are priced at $179 per term,

and you can find a comprehensive list of our prices for all lesson types on this link => [Link to Prices].

CONCERTS & SCHOOL ASSEMBLY PERFORMANCE

We prioritize our end-of-year shows, concerts, and assemblies as vital opportunities for students to build confidence. These performances allow parents to witness their child’s progress and inspire other students to explore new musical activities. Our events feature solo and ensemble performances across diverse genres, including popular, rock, and classical music.

ABC MUSIC TEACHERS

Our dedicated teachers hold university degrees or diplomas in their respective musical fields, ensuring high-level expertise. For your peace of mind, all staff maintain valid Working with Children Checks (WWCC) and are fully covered by Workcover, Public Liability, and Superannuation. We utilize a balanced educational approach that emphasizes theory and technique through engaging music games and student-selected repertoire, ensuring a fun and comprehensive learning journey.

ONLINE ENROLMENTS and PAYMENTS

Our enrolment process is conveniently handled online through our website. The platform is user friendly, allowing parents to easily register their children for lessons, purchase books, and arrange instrument rentals or purchases.

Regarding communication, our dedicated office staff manages both email and phone inquiries efficiently and professionally. They ensure all matters are addressed promptly, including notifications, student progress feedback (which is also shared with teachers), enrolments, and cancellations.

FORMAL REPORTS

We provide progress reports twice annually, at the end of Terms 2 and 4. These reports are designed to keep you informed about your child's development and highlight areas where additional support at home could be beneficial.

In addition to these reports, we offer formal examinations for students who are interested in pursuing specific goals. Our dedicated teachers collaborate closely with these students to ensure thorough preparation, aiming for excellent outcomes in both the theoretical and practical aspects of their musical education.

PRACTISE TIPS and PARENT HELP

We highly recommend music game apps for the students to use at home as they help reinforce what is learned in their lessons in a fun, engaging way. On our website we have tips to help parents at home https://www.abcmusicgroup.com.au/practice-tips/

A practise diary/notebook for communication with the teacher is a great way to keep up to date with what they need to practice as homework!

The school office doesn’t handle enquiries, payments or enrolments. For any questions related to the Instrumental Program parents need to contact the ABC Office via email mailto:info@abcmusicgroup.com.au or call 0403 493 861
