How a term works

  1. 1

    Placement

    A 30-minute trial: the teacher sees experience and interests.

  2. 2

    Term goals

    Two or three pieces or projects, visible in the practice notebook.

  3. 3

    Perform or exhibit

    A recital or exhibition every term — always optional.

  4. 4

    Review with family

    A short report each term and a chat about next steps — including exams, if wanted.

Start with a 30-minute trial

A teacher places your child and suggests a path. The trial fee is deducted when you enrol.
