2024 Enrolments now open!

Our 2024 Programs

More on the way! Sign up for Discovery Club (F-2), Launchpad (1:4 workshop + Individual lessons), and Individual 20 minute lessons.

What is Launchpad?

Our group lesson program has been redesigned in 2024 with both member and team feedback — for our 2024 Launchpad program!

Launchpad combines the best of both worlds into a value-packed program to address the needs of and support our curious and developing young musicians!

Each Term of Launchpad includes:

– 4 weeks of 30 minute, 1:4 small group workshop or ensemble time

4 weeks of 20 minute Individual (1:1) time with your group’s Music Mentor

– Individualized feedback, goal setting and benchmarking (coming soon!)

– Plus video content to support your learning reinforcement for the entire school year from your workshop’s Mentor!
