National Music School offers teaching in all levels (i.e. beginner to advanced),
including a wide range of certificate and diploma courses. All our teachers are
certified and endorsed by the "Victorian Music Teachers' Association" "The
Australian Music Teachers' Registry" as well as the
"National Institute of Music
Teachers". These strict memberships are open to teachers who are highly
accredited in the teaching of the arts as well as having the necessary
requirements in child/adult education, psychology and teacher training.
All our teachers have a minimum of 7 years teaching experience as well
as being highly competent performers of their own particular musical
instrument including voice. Scientific studies have shown that music
studies greatly improve children's math and reading skills but more
importantly their self-esteem. Similar studies regarding adults have
also shown to improve communication and verbal skills as well as an
increase in confidence levels. Singing also further stimulates the human
body's release of endorphins which is a protein substance found in the
brain that promotes general overall well being. We were also the proud
winners of the "2000 & 2006 Australian Achiever Awards"
for our standards of teaching and customer service.
