Why should I choose Vinnie Classroom?

- To provide students with a quality music education.
- Teachers are experienced and highly qualified.
- Regular performances for students to build confidence and gain a sense of comfort on stage.
What syllabus does Vinnie Classroom use?
We conduct lessons based on syllabuses from Rockschool, ANZCA and London College of Music (LCM) examination boards. Students will progress from beginner to advanced levels via a structured framework and be assessed by external examiners at each stage. Upon passing, students will be awarded an internationally-recognised certificate. We also have the VC syllabus (see below).
Is it compulsory to take exams?
No, if you just want to learn an instrument without the stress of preparing for an international graded exam, you will be happy to know that the in-house VC syllabus is tailored for learners at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.
Since we do not just teach to a test, even if you choose the exam curriculum, your music repertoire will be much wider than the exam syllabus. This will help you grow as a musician.
How much do lessons cost?
Keyboard/Piano fees from $160 per month ($480 per term).
Guitar/Ukulele/Drums fees from $208 per month ($624 per term).
There are 11 lessons per 3-month term.
Are lessons one-on-one or in a group?
Lessons are mostly conducted one-on-one i.e. teacher with a student.
If you wish to form a group with friends (maximum 3 to a group), there will be a 20% discount per student. For a group of 4 to 6 persons, there will be a 40% discount per student.
How much is a trial lesson and how do I sign up for it?
The 45-minute music trial lesson costs $39.90, whatever the instrument. The cost of your trial will be free if you sign up for regular lessons! You can email us at hello@vinnieclassroom.com or Whatsapp 9298 0830 with your contact details and the course you are interested in. We will be in touch shortly.
