OUR MISSION
At Musical Avenue our aim is to provide top quality music teaching with a strong musical foundation for students of different ages, abilities and interests. Our programmes are carefully designed in order to provide the best learning experience to our students. We also provide our students with various opportunities to showcase their talent so that they can have an all-rounded learning experience here with us! It is our hope to be able to cultivate the talents of those who are passionate about music, and to enable everyone to achieve their greatest potential! Our students have consistently received outstanding results in AMEB, ABRSM and RockSchool examinations.
STRUCTURED MUSIC PROGRAMMES
Our programmes are structured for beginner level and above, and each level is targeted to provide students with comprehensive knowledge in the respective topic. Our doors are open to students of all ages, and lessons are customized to the specific age range of the students, which can range from the tender age of 3 all the way up to 70 year old retirees!
QUALIFIED INSTRUCTORS
Musical Avenue instructors are all highly qualified in their respective fields of specialisation and ensure that every student experiences a learning process specially tailored to fit their individual needs. New instructors are screened through a rigorous interview and audition process as well as a probation teaching period before they are confirmed as regular instructors at our school.
