Studios and The Creative Hub to spark your imagination

Join Us At Our Woodend Studios!

We've moved our After Hours Music activities to a new studio!

We're excited to be partnering with Woodend Primary School (Owen St, Woodend) for a dedicated music performance and production studio on campus in their music building -- with after school mentor sessions, workshops and programs coming soon for the community!

Our first guests and longtime supporters

Music Studio: Featuring 2 Drum Kits, all kinds of amps, keyboards, recording gear and more.  A great place to learn, explore and grow!

Coming Soon: Production studio space where you can learn all about music, audio and video production, AI content creation, Coding, App and Game building, and lots more!

The Band Room: The Woodend Primary studios include an extensive, big Band room with lots of instruments, PA and more where we can rehearse bands, run workshops and roll out weekend programs.

Up Next: We're in discussions with community space partners about our Create and Making activities -- watch this space!
