Hive caters for babies, infants, toddlers, preschool and primary to high school aged kids with a wide selection of age-appropriate groups and classes in Newcastle and Maitland. Classes are offered in Music & Movement, Music Tuition, Drama, Art, French and Spanish and Private Music Lessons.
Our comfortable and friendly environment encourages children to express themselves and interact with others through music and movement or through the creative arts. Watch your child flourish as they learn core music skills, start to think like an artist, or grow in confidence on the stage. Bond with them as they become confident, intelligent and creative beings.
Hive Philosophy
Our approach strives for all children to develop music, language, artistic, drama and creative expression skills. We do this through research-based and developmentally-appropriate holistic activities. Plenty of time and thought goes in to the why and how of what we teach, when and to what ages.
