Local Mums recommend the best music courses in our area
“I highly recommend Upbeat Music Courses to Local Mums. We were amazed at what Upbeat produced after a day and a half of the Christmas course – incredible! I couldn’t believe my eyes that my daughter Anastasia was singing so happily in the front row. It was a huge personal step forward for her.”
Emma, Local Mum
"I recommend Upbeat Music Courses to Local Mums. Wow – what a concert! The hall was literally rocking. Max, Kate and Steve are such an inspiration to all the kids and what they get out of them is truly amazing. I had tears in my eyes when they sang the finale.”
Fiona, Local Mum
“I highly recommend Upbeat Music Courses to Local Mums. My children have been going to Upbeat for years, and still they can’t get out the door quick enough in the mornings to get there! Max and co inspire them to perform with confidence and the end of course performance is a must for parents. Loved every minute!”
Jason Donovan, Local Dad, Musician/Actor
"I recommend Upbeat Music Courses to Local Mums. We were all amazed by Erica’s performance at the end of year concert and it’s all down to Upbeat's amazing team. We never thought we would see the day she would sing on her own in front of so many people!”
Phillipa, Local Mum
Upbeat Music Courses
We are a Pop & Rock school, Established in 2001, specialising in high quality music education for children from 4 - 16 years, with a fantastic early years programme (Popkids) to start developing key musical skills.

We always challenge the more experienced children with technically demanding music and exciting performance opportunities. Our children develop skills and confidence on our courses and keep coming back for more!

Popkids Senior (7 – 8yrs)
