Our Philosophy and Approach to teaching and learning instrumental music are the pillars which support all our programs.
In person classes are available at Chatham PS, Melbourne.
Early Primary kids who have never ‘seriously’ learned an instrument are highly recommended to begin learning with ukulele for good reasons (with exceptions – we are happy to discuss with you).
Next step is the Discovery Session. This happens on Zoom with Yanai Morris, our kid coach and teacher.
See below and read what happens in a Discovery Session.

This is a fun, engaging and low-pressure experience for parents and kids.
It is a required part of the process as it enables a few essential things to happen:
Online, live
1:1 classes
Our Quirky Kids program is highly personalised to the specific needs of young learners. It supports the individual goals of both yourself and your child, as well as their personality, preferences in music, emotional expression and learning styles.
1:1 classes are great for kids who prefer or need a personalised space.
They are perfect for kids who learn best with focused time with a teacher.
Lots of our QK students are neurodivergent – they can relax and be themselves in their learning time with Yanai.
Instruments available are Ukulele, Keyboard, Drums, Singing, Trumpet and Guitar (acoustic, electric and bass)
Online, live,
small group classes
Ukulele is the only instrument offered in group classes.
Kids are grouped at the same ability level, and classes are crafted to accommodate the teaching and learning processes needed for individual students.
Group learning with TIK supports kids to find ways to regulate their behaviour, learn how to be part of a group and normalise their experiences and feelings.
Kids can celebrate each other’s successes, and support each other through struggles, in a way not possible in the context of their regular school classes.
