Missed a lesson last year?

Please remember that if you have missed a lesson last year, we’d like to invite you to join a group makeup class.

A group makeup is a one hour class, and is a fantastic way to learn music in a group environment. Make sure you sign up for a group that is specific to your age and also your instrument level. There’s no need to worry about which instrument you play.

Group make-ups can be taken at any time and are unlimited, that means you can join as many group makeups during the year as much as you want.

Join the challenge! Each month a new challenge awaits. See you if you can stay at the top of the leaderboard to win some fabulous prizes and be Cantabile’s Music Hero!

How do I join?

1. Ask the front desk to get a nameplate for yourself

2. Design your nameplate – colour it, decorate it, whatever you like! (Make sure we can read your name on it though)

3. Look for the challenge of the month according to your instrument (Don’t worry! Ladders are also separated into instrument levels)

4. Complete the challenge. Your teacher can put your nameplate on the board. Each week you can do your best to outdo your time/score or beat your competitors!

Prizes are given each month to the top of the leaderboard!

The Music Ladder System

Music Ladder wristbands are being earned day after day by many students. We are one of the only music schools in Melbourne that gives students the opportunity to earn special coloured wristband bracelets, trophies and certificates for passing musical tests. The Music Ladder System is our unique method of music education that you can only get here at the Cantabile School of Music!

The Cantabile School of Music supports The Song Room, a non-for-profit organisation that strives to give all Australian children equal access to a quality education with musical and art opportunities.
It’s hard to believe that approximately 3 out of 4 children in Australia do not have access to education in music and arts, and face long-term disadvantage from poor access to quality education resources.

Our school believes that every child deserves the best possible start and every opportunity to succeed in life.

You can show your support by making a small donation in one of our red tins in the school to help support this cause. You can also purchase one of our $2 Air Instruments which will be donated to put a real instrument in the hands of a child who needs it.

 

We serve to create a community

Our students come from many different suburbs including Mount Waverley, Wantirna South, Scoresby, Knoxville, Berwick, Narre Warren, Ashwood, Burwood, Burwood East, Vermont, Wantirna, Vermont South, Wheelers Hill, Blackburn, Box Hill, Doncaster, Springvale, Clayton and other surrounding areas.

It’s easy to Refer a Friend
We’ve made it even easier to refer a friend to the Cantabile School of Music. Simply head over to:

Fill out your friend’s details and we will take care of the rest!
If you refer a friend and they register for lessons for at least a month, we will you give you AND your friend a FREE 30 minute lesson. Your free lesson can be used to try a different instrument if you like. There is no maximum of how many free lessons you can receive. Music FunTime students can also refer as well!
