#playtolearn is what we do

Our Philosophy:

We teach that in our kind of arts education there are no rules, just tools that you can sharpen, practice and use to take you anywhere you'd like to go!

Our Mentors open doors for our creatives to walk, run or jump through!

... And we always say it's about the Journey -- not  the destination.

Launchpad!

Individual + Ensemble Learning

Launchpad is our own design -- a fun, engaging and inspiring spot to launch your journey into music and the creative arts! (Launchpad Standard, Boost! or Jetstream!)

The goal was to provide both individualzied instruction (1:1 time where we can set up and support your personal needs, goals and approach to learning) and a small group ensemble (1:4 30 min ensemble sessions) so that you're immediate putting what you learn into practice!

For our musicians this looks like a mini-band of your peers, working towards a performance or music video. For our makers + creators this looks like a project or event outcome. For our NEW language learners this is a conversational project based goal!

Launchpad is the way to get on the ground running and learn as you go -- making music, art, apps and sharing ideas -- while building up your personal portfolio of skills and abilities! Go for Launchpad!!

Individual 20, 30 (or 40)

Individual Learning

Our Individual 20 or 30 programs are great for those with personal goals where you want a regular connection with your Mentor.  Individual programs are also a great option for supporting individual learning needs or for those that find ensemble activities difficult.

Work 1:1 with your specialized Mentor on your own suite of goals and objectives.  Whether in music, visual arts, making, coding or languages, this is a great way to build your toolkit of skills and find projects, outcomes and ensembles where you can put them into practice!

Starting Term 3 '26: We are now offering Individual 40 programs on a limited basis.  These are for Senior Primary musicians that are really working hard on their craft and will benefit from the additional Mentor time.  Please get in touch if you would like to consider Individual 40 as an option.

Those who want some ensemble opportunities can look at Launchpad Jetstream! or check out all the workshops & ensemble opportunities at the Creative Hub Woodend!

An Intro through Play-based Music!

Discovery & Lil Bites

Our Discovery30 program is our play-based, engaging and fun way to dive into the work of making music together!  Aimed at our young musicians from Prep** to Year 1/2, this 30 minute 1:4 ensemble based learning program is a heap of fun and has kicked off the careers of many blossoming young musos!

Through games, jams and getting hands-on with Drums, Keyboards, Guitars, Voices and more the musicians will build up their musical vocabulary, time and rhythm, understanding of pitch -- and how to put those together to make a beautiful noise.

For those young musicians who prefer an personalized approach we offer Li'l Bites 15 minute individual programs.  These sessions are just the right size for our youngest musicians to focus on on or two skills each week and have a clear idea of what they can work on at home.  

So many of our musicians since 2020 have graduated from Discovery and Li'l Bites to Launchpad and beyond!  **Note: Foundation / Prep musicians may have to wait until Term 2 to begin.  Get in touch for details.
