How to get started with musical OSHC bookings
We want your child to love music and look forward to their class. All children in the group OSHC classes begin with a trial session in Week 1 of the term (50% of the usual class price). It also gives you confidence that they’re comfortable with our ‘drop and go’ class structure.
Combining Music OSHC with group violin lessons
If your child is excited to learn the violin, we recommend enrolling them in our beginner group violin lessons in addition to their Music OSHC class. The class starts at 4:45pm, after Music OSHC. It’s an easy way to start formal lessons while also making after school care easier.
