Melbourne❜s Best Singing Schools for Kids

When you watch The Voice, do your little ones sing along? Can they croon the tunes to all the Disney movies without making glasses in your house shatter? Do they love turning everything into song?

If you’ve got a budding Beyonce or Michael Buble in the house, it might be time to invest in singing lessons to help their talents be heard. To make it easier, we’ve compiled a list of some of Melbourne’s best singing schools for kids. You’re welcome.

2. The Johnny Young Talent School

If you grew up in the 1980s, you probably learned to sing by watching the show from this Australian entertainment legend – Johnny Young, himself.
Young Talent Time produced some big name talents – and lots of others – and now some aspects of that show’s vibe exist in talent school form at a handy location in Melbourne’s inner-suburb of Richmond.
The classes on offer take in everything from jazz and ballet to musical theatre and pop group workshops, so students have a chance to mingle singing with dancing and performance too. Anthony Callea is one of the famous alumni and the enthusiasm to make a go of it in the entertainment industry – as well as simply have fun along the way – here is definitely contagious.

3. Perfect Pitch School Of Music

The aim here is to inspire and encourage creative minds to evolve through the gift of music. Creativity and self-expression is a big focus here, and the promise to improve vocal range without damaging precious vocal chords comes with the offer to give your money back if you don’t notice a difference after your first lesson. They also teach instruments and run a songwriting club, plus there are school holiday camps too. Mobile classes are also on offer if transport and time getting your kids to and from classes are an issue.

4. Connected Voice

Professional singing tuition does make a difference – but it can’t work magic on people who don’t make the effort. The teacher and singing school founder, Rachel Kane, uses improvisation, visual cues, movement and even aspects of meditation to get kids involved in their singing – and have fun. Group classes, private lessons and individual coaching for audition preparation are all on offer in a friendly, relaxed environment.

6. Sing Space

The exercises each week are all about healthy vocal registration, increased vocal range, improved vocal tone and pitch. After all, who wants a child that can’t sing without straining their vocal chords?
Even in the group setting, there are plenty of opportunities for solo performances that help boost confidence, and with mid-year and end-of-year concerts at a cool Kew venue, there are also chances to hone performance skills too.
Group classes are also available and have a maximum of three students in a 45-minute class.

7. The Australian Girls Choir

Yes, it’s only for girls but it’s got a great reputation and offers multiple opportunities to perform around the country – and even the world, in later years. It won’t suit all personalities – it’s very sweet and structured – but the discipline and sisterhood within the students might be just what you’re looking for.
Junior@agc focuses its attention on little ones aged between 5- 7 years old. Once they hit 8 years of age, they’re able to join the general choir and, depending on where you live, there is sure to be a class somewhere nearby. As girls progress through age ranks and skill level, different opportunities are offered, with some cherry-picked to join additional groups that offer more intensive singing training.

What You Need To Know

Girls are invited to attend a free trial class before they commit.
It is an investment in both time and money but those that love it, really love it.
