"I have taken (my) children aged from 6 months up to 6 years to Forte music classes both here (Forte Canning Vale) and in Brisbane. Classes are fun and children are engaged from start to finish. Children are introduced to music from an early age and learn concepts such as beat, rhythm, pitch etc through fun, play based learning. This knowledge continues to grow as they progress and I have had 5 year olds playing keyboard with both hands, quite impressive! I would recommend this school to anyone wanting to introduce music to their children and to build a solid base of music for their future."

"I firmly believe music education is essential for children in their early formative years, as positive effects of music on cognitive, academic, social and artistic skills are now well documented. I have two children who are under tutelage of Mrs. Pik Kong of Forte Music school, for more than two years. Pik is one of the most  committed and passionate teachers I ever seen, in any field. She established good rapport with my children who are now looking forward to their weekly lessons with her. My older child attends private piano lessons and my younger child is doing the Piano Key Course. I  highly recommend Ms Pik Kong of Forte Music School,Mt Waverley  if you're seeking superior music education."

"My two children have been involved with the Music is Fun and Jungle Music programs with Pik from Forte Music in Mount Waverley. The programs have given my children some great skills and confidence in performing to others as they work through their lessons each week. Pik has been a supportive and engaging teacher who is clearly passionate about developing the skills of her students. The programs are a lot of fun and facilitates the learning needs of each child. My children are always excited to go to lessons and look forward to playing the variety of instruments on offer and singing along to their favourite songs. I highly recommend Pik and her team at Forte Music."

"Forte Music school has surpassed our expectations in all aspects - Pik and her teaching material is as top notch at it gets. The kids get involved through play and activities...music is learned through tunes, jingles, charts, little play activities and a sense of music instead of boring books. My daughter loves going to Pik's music class!"

"Hello Suzanne/Jane,
Unfortunately Alice will not be returning for music lessons at Forte in September. She is leaving primary school and has been given a music scholarship at the Cathedral School. This includes music lessons at the school during the day. If it wasn't for this she would be continuing at Forte until she was 50 (her words - apparently that's really old!!). I spoke to Sarah last night and she said she would let you know - but wanted to let you know too.
It is impossible to put into words the impact that music lessons at Forte has had on Alice. Weekly lessons have been an important and happy event since she was 5. She absolutely loves music and it is simply part of her life now. 
Needless to say that the scholarship would never have been possible without the fantastic lessons (piano and violin) she has had with some excellent teachers (Miss Claire, Miss Sarah, Miss Sophie G and Miss Kristina). The opportunity to play at the WMC and St Ffagans every year has made her a confident performer which has been so helpful for school performances and exams etc. She seems to take them in her stride which is a reflection of how well prepared she has been thanks to her teachers and the whole supportive Forte environment. A massive thank you to all at Forte.
Fortunately for me Seb is continuing with his piano classes as I can't imagine not making the journey to Danescourt a few times a week! I might even need to sign up for lessons myself!"

“The sense of pitch awareness and the development of perfect pitch is outstanding in Forte pupils. It amazes me that I have taught the pupils this myself as my listening skills were very poor as a learner - aural tests were my weakness at every level from grade exams to degree level.

It is without a doubt the use of solfege which has achieved this, and their outstanding pitch abilities produce comments from other music educators that come into contact with our pupils through their schooling and/or learning a second instrument.

My own listening skills have improved beyond belief since I have been teaching solfege at Forte. I can pick up tunes easily now that I hear and can perform readily by ear. In college I was the student who struggled to play the pieces which had to be learned from memory.

I have noticed one strange thing that has happened to me of late... on Saturday I played “Oh Holy Night” using the pitch transpose feature on my piano for the singer. I have done this every two years for twelve years. This year though I was completely thrown by it and just felt completely out of sorts following the music... I think I may be developing perfect pitch!!”

“Pik has really helped me develop my piano skills and has opened up a wide variety of music that I have enjoyed playing. Having learned piano as a child, I thought it would be difficult to basically learn from scratch, but Pik has helped me develop the skills to pick it up again. My goals have been to play for pleasure and be able to pick up an play all types of music, I am now achieving this. I had only played classics in the past and it is a great experience to venture into Jazz, Opera and other genres.”
