At Busy Bees Music our classes align with the NSW school terms. We begin in week 1 and conclude in week 9. There is a 3 week break between each term.
Our philosophy springs from a genuine respect for each child's individual rate of development. Class activities and all supporting materials are designed to honour, support and celebrate the wonderful uniqueness of each child. Classes have overlapping age ranges to help parents accommodate their child's own needs.
The age recommendations of our classes at Busy Bees Music have been carefully constructed to best group children in an age and developmentally appropriate way. Children must be the minimum advertised age of the class you with to join. (For example, to join an Busy Beats class, your kiddo must already be 15 months).
Yes, we cherish the presence of parents, caregiverso r other adults in all our classes. Your role is incredibly special; you are your child's first and best teacher! Family involvement is at the heart of our philosophy.
We are a floor based, fully adult participatory class that is dynamic, energetic and musical so all of our activities involve music and moveent. This means that you are musicking with us for the entire class.
Because of the focused nature of our sessions, we are unable to accommodate unenrolled siblings.
We look forward to sharing these magical experiences with you and your little one!
Adult guests are always welcome in our classes - partners, grandparents, aunts, uncles - we love when extended family joins in the fun!
However, due to the dynamic and fully participatory nature of our classes, we can only accommodate enrolled children and their parent or carer in the classroom. Unfortunately, unenrolled siblings and visiting children aren’t able to join the session.
Of course! We offer a preview class, before you enrol officially. We want you to experience everything that our studio has to offer.
Depending on when you book your preview, though your preview is either free or paid.
During school terms, preview classses are free based on availability.
In booking a class over the holiday period though, we do a one class ($25.00) holding deposit. This means we remove your position from our list of advertised positions, allowing you to preview the class and subsequently enrol directly after your preview. Should you wish to join us we simply deduct your holding deposit twice from the balance of your fees. Once as your first class is actually free and twice as you’ve already made a $25.00 payment towards those fees. If you feel the classes are't a good fit for you an your family, we'll refund your holding deposit at the end of your preview class.
Absolutely. Busy Bees Music classes are inclusive and welcoming of neurodivergent children. We recognise that children communicate, move, play, learn and participate in different ways.
Our classes have a familiar structure while still allowing children to participate in ways that work for them. They might join in fully, watch for a while, move around, repeat an activity, take a break or engage in their own way. There is no expectation that every child will participate in exactly the same way.
With a parent or caregiver actively participating alongside them, children have a familiar person to connect with as they explore music, movement and play.
Our goal isn't to change the way a child experiences the world. It's to create a welcoming environment where they can participate, connect and enjoy making music in their own way.
I’m committed to providing a clean, well-maintained space for your family. Keeping our community healthy is a shared responsibility, so if you or your child are unwell, please stay home and rest. Makeups are available to help keep things flexible.
Here’s how we do it:
Throughout the studio, we provide:
Our cleaning practices have always been an important part of maintaining a healthy studio environment, and we continue to review them as needed..
We’ll miss you if you need to skip a class due to illness, but we really appreciate you helping keep our space healthy for everyone.
We always recommend prioritising your weekly class and thinking of catch-ups as a bonus when space allows. Catch-up places aren't guaranteed and depend on availability.
Here’s how it works:
It’s a great little system, but it only works if families let us know when they can’t make it. We totally understand that things get hectic, so even a quick SMS, late at night or early in the morning, is absolutely fine. It helps us keep things running smoothly and gives another family the chance to use the spot.
We totally get the joy of capturing and sharing special moments with your family! You’re welcome to take photos or videos of your own child during class, but please make sure no other children are captured in the background or foreground.
Many families choose not to have their children photographed or filmed for many reasons, so we ask that you check what’s in the frame before taking a photo or video.
If you’re sharing your photos or videos with family or on social media, the same rule applies. Thanks for helping us keep the classroom a safe and respectful space for everyone.
Families with more than one child attending classes at Busy Bees Music receive a discount on the tuition of additional children.
The discount applies whether siblings attend the same or different classes.
Please note: Play Room sessions are not included in the sibling discount.
Yes. Because Busy Bees Music operates within Club Marconi, Club Marconi membership is required for everyone attending our classes, including preview sessions.
Club Marconi requires families who live within a 10km radius of the club to hold a current membership. This is a Club Marconi requirement that we need to follow as a business operating within the club.
Membership is $10 for two years and includes benefits such as:
If you're already a Mounties member, you can use that for entry, though it won’t include food and beverage discounts.
Staff may ask to see your membership card when you arrive each week, so keep it handy.
You can save time by downloading the Club Marconi membership application form and completing it before your visit.
