The Cantabile School of Music is a proud supporter of the
Street Smart handbook

The Street Smarthandbook is a practical life guide for 16 and 17 year old school leavers that is designed to help prepare today’s youth for life after school.

The handbook covers important topics from health and the effects of drug and alcohol abuse to legal rights and applying for a loan. It offers information specific to the school leaver, providing invaluable assistance for those who are considering buying their first car or living away from home. The handbook is also a handy guide for teens that are pondering their future career choices and supplies them with advice on apprenticeships, university and TAFE. It provides teens with straight forward, factual information about issues that they will face.

The book will be delivered to all year 11 students, with 20,000 readership per edition which consists of a combination of hard copies and e-versions and distributed in schools in the Glen Waverley area with distributions in the month of August.

We Love Referrals

Here at the Cantabile School of Music, we want to show our appreciation for referrals. If you refer a friend and they register for lessons for at least a month, we will you give you AND your friend a FREE 30 minute lesson.

There is no maximum of the amount of free lessons you can receive, so please refer anyone who you think may be interested in having music lessons with us.

Simply ask the front desk for a ‘Refer a Friend’ certificate similar to the one below:

If your friend registers for lessons, we’ll be sure to send you one as well.

Thank you very much for your referrals !

Music Ladder

The Cantabile School of Music proudly introduces the Music Ladder System! We are one of the only music schools in Melbourne that gives students the opportunity to earn special colour wristband bracelets (kids and teens love them!), trophies AND certificates for passing musical tests with the Musical Ladder System®. Do other schools offer trophies and certificates? A few. But none of them inspire their students with smiling faces by giving them full colour, really cool “Musical Ladder System®” wristbands that they can show off to their friends.

More importantly when our students have a test coming up, they practice more, their parents are proud, their teachers are proud and everybody wins!

Ask your teachers how you can climb up the Musical Ladder System® and earn your wristbands, trophies, certificates and also win some fabulous prizes !
