our teachersA little bit about us…

Julie Logan Music is a unique Kodaly-based program, where babies and children are guided by teachers who have specialised in extensive post-graduate study in Early Childhood Music Education.

This means that we’re highly qualified, passionate experts who have years of musical experience in teaching little ones!  You’ll love the way we nurture a passion for music in babies and kids, connecting your whole family in a way that’s fun, enjoyable and active.

All our group teachers are parents themselves, so we know what it’s like to have great days with your baby, and other times when things aren’t so great.

Owned and operated by Novocastrian Julie Logan and her select team, Julie Logan Music classes take place in locations around Newcastle and cater for children from birth to eight+years of age.

Since 2002, we’ve been growing musical families throughout Newcastle and the Hunter region, combining the best of Kodaly expertise with time-honoured skills for proven results. Many of our students have successfully gained places in performing arts and academic school programs, as well as auditioning successfully for vocal and instrumental performances.

We’d love you to to join our music family!

Love,

The Julie Logan Music program stands out from the rest,

with it’s unique sequence and excellent teachers who get amazing results!

“Bringing our kids as little bitty babies on the lap through to ten years old, we are so impressed with how this program has enriched our children’s confidence to learn how to play music and awesome aural skills for all their learning from preschool and beyond.

While it’s heaps of fun for all of us, it’s incredible seeing how much progress they’ve made and the confidence it’s given them to perform and play in any setting.

We love what’s it’s done for making music as a family at home!

Julie Logan

Founder

Julie established Julie Logan Music in Newcastle in 2001, a Nationally Accredited Do-re-mi for children research-based program for children 0-8 years. Specialist teachers Nationally Accredited with the Kodaly Music Institute of Australia were selected because of their extensive early childhood music education training and experience, they were able to adapt lessons to meet the individual needs and interests of each group of children.

Group music lessons were based on the educational, social, emotional and physical needs of a child.  Julie provided children with a unique way of exploring beat, rhythm, melody and dynamics across a variety of music styles, while having fun singing, dancing and playing instruments.

In 2022 Julie handed the reins over to Julie Fawcett (Julie 2), looking forward to some well-earned time spent relaxing, travelling and enjoying the company of family and friends.
