Due to apartment blocks being built in the Alice Street complex, we've had to cease all dealings with our 7D venue and have moved out of Newtown. The music school grew during the two years it established itself in the Alice Street Newtown premise, and we're sad to see it go. However, we've moved into a new place where we finally have views of some greenery. That being Enmore Park. It's a great location and we're hoping to really thrive and grow the music school in the new location on Enmore Road. Thank you to all our students and parents who have had to put up with the relocation and renovation issues. We'll be back to normal from February 2014 and look forward to seeing everyone.
