Jitterbugs is where the music journey begins for our two year olds. Classes are full of shakers, singing, and simple rhythms, with a parent or carer right alongside for every song.

It's playful, hands-on, and a lovely way to introduce little ones to music before they even start school.

Jitterbugs runs Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. 🎶

Remember a few weeks ago when we told you ISM Ballina had been nominated for the Ballina Business Awards? Well... we won!

We're thrilled to share that ISM Ballina has taken out the Excellence in Creative Industries award at this year's Ballina Business Awards! 🏆

This means so much to us and wouldn't be possible without our incredible students, families, and community who support us every single day. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. 🎶

Rainy day? Perfect. Even 10-15 minutes of practice a day makes a real difference. It keeps skills fresh, builds confidence, and means your child hits the ground running when Term 3 starts. Time to pull those instruments out. 🎹🎸

ISM Ballina is 5 today! We are so proud of this community. Thank you to every family who has been part of it. 🎂

Thank you for your support, trust, and for allowing us to share the joy of music with your children.
Music is my greatest passion and I feel incredibly lucky to wake up each day being trusted to nurture your children's confidence, creativity, and love of music.
Over the past five years we've shared thousands of lessons, countless laughs, performances, milestones, and magical moments.
Along the way, I've learnt just as much from my students as they've learnt from me, and for that I'm truly thankful.

Here's to celebrating how far we've
come and to everything that's still to come. We're only just getting started. 💗🎶
