FAQ

We're here to help answer any questions you might have about Julie Logan Music.

My toddler can't sit still, is that ok?

We understand! Movement is part of learning about music and we move a LOT in our classes. We balance lively dancing and play activities with learning to focus and listen. Even older children need lots of moving and grooving to explore new concepts. Check us out on YouTube to see how little any of us sit still in class!

Why is my child sitting and watching?

It’s normal for children to just observe some or all of the lesson for a few weeks. Little ones love routine and will settle into the sessions over a number of weeks of attendance. It’s important for your child’s sense of security to be exposed to a consistent learning environment including the group of peers and parents, which is why we enrol children by the term.

What can young children learn about music?

Research show 0-2 years is a critical period for brain, speech and music development. In fact, the music part of the brain is ESSENTIAL for babies learning to speak. Apart from that, it’s a beautiful way to bond and spend special time together. Children also gain an understanding of rhythm, pitch and beat which will be skills they can tap into later in life if they decide to pursue music.

Why is some repetition necessary?

Repetition is a key element for early development and learning for all babies and children. It helps them to feel safe and secure and builds their confidence. The key is for us to cleverly include something old and something new in each lesson, to keep things fresh and fun. By changing the way favourite songs are used, our expert teachers increase the coordination and musical challenges and will show you how to do the same, making life easier at home, in the car and at the supermarket!

Are all lessons the same?

Julie Logan Music is not a one-size-fits-all program. Our teachers follow a research-based developmental curriculum but each teacher draws on their expert musical knowledge to customise lessons which will captivate each different group of children. All our university trained teachers have an extensive depth of knowledge, lots of teaching experience and have completed a three year post-graduate course in the Kodaly approach, as well as the Orff and Dalcrose approaches. We are specialists in Early Childhood Music Development, so much so that we also provide Professional Development for staff in childcare and schools.

When should my child start learning an instrument?

Learning an instrument can be quite intense. It requires continuous practice and if started too early, this can put a child off music for life! Ideally, your child will get the head-start on learning music in our Baby or Toddler morning classes. Either way, it’s never too late to start and all our classes offer a holistic approach to learning all aspects of music. We use different instruments throughout our whole program, so from approximately eight years of age, your child can easily take off on any instrument they are passionate about.

We love our current teacher, what if we have to change?

Your child will be in excellent hands no matter which teacher they have. All our group teachers are parents themselves, they hold the highest level of Kodaly qualifications and bring 125 years of combined teaching experience to focus entirely on bringing out the best in your child.

What happens if we miss a class?

We understand how tricky changing sleep times, dealing with illness or getting a specialist’s appointment can be. Once you’ve enrolled and paid, you’re entitled to FREE and FLEXIBLE make-ups at any time, in any week that suits you during the term.
