Anxiety can be a real obstacle for a child when learning to socialize and feel confident in a group. It is something that they never “grow out of” rather “lean in to” and find ways to cope and work around it. This doesn’t come without a strong system of support and the ability to overcome these feelings instead of being overwhelmed by it all. Being an anxious child presents many challenges like fear, confusion, missed opportunities, and even isolation.

A once shy and timid girl, Rhyla had blossomed into the happy and socially healthy student she has always been on the inside. Now being able to let that part of her personality shine through was like a weight being lifted. The group setting in our classroom allowed Rhyla to move out of her once all-consuming comfort zone, to now take other kids under her wing and making sure her newfound friends felt as accepted and comfortable as she always wanted to be.

At first, Hunter didn’t show the usual progress of playing for a child his age, yet as the months turned into years his social skills and self-confidence rose consistently. Not one to shy away from a group, yet still maintaining the air of a strong but silent type he becomes the most vocal when talking about piano. He will dive deep into conversations about the music he has written and loves to play.

This increase in group participation gave him a deeper understanding of music theory and reading sheet music so he could memorize some of his favourite tunes. Hunter has shown so much commitment and determination towards his learning journey since the early days that he is now seeing those dividends pay off as he is a real rockstar at Mad Hatter Music School.

Parents of young kids are constantly in search of new and fun ways to keep their kids occupied in a healthy and creative way.

Our 3-5yr old preschools often need the most creative ideas!

Things are getting back to normal post-covid and it’s about time that kids enjoy outdoor activities too. Picnics in the parks are a great way to soak in some vitamin D, enjoy rides, and breathe in the fresh air. There are plenty of play centres and parks around your locality if you live in the Springwood Queensland neighbourhood.

Here at Mad Hatter Music, we offer group piano lessons that will benefit your child while catering to communities such as Logan, Carindale, Mansfield, and many other surrounding areas.

Our socials may have been MIA, but our students have NOT. In fact, it's pretty cool that I get to come on here and say that we have TEEN piano lessons now!

We don’t want your child playing on a toy of course, but anything above that level for newbie students is absolutely fine. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

That aside, here are my top 3 recommendations:
