Here's what some people have to say -
Hayden and Liam both love Tim so much. Hayden loves learning from him
and is happy to make the trip each week. He is always so up after a
lesson.

We thank you for providing great teachers, Yuri and Gus. For the past
3 years, Ben has thoroughly enjoyed all his lessons.
Would you please thank Gus for his patience and thoughtful guidance. He made every lesson fun and enriching and we will be forever grateful for his time spent on Ben.
Thank you again, Mike.
Best regards

Hi Mike,
I hope you and the family are all ok and surviving in this strange new world.
I just wanted to let you know how amazing we have found the zoom sessions to be. It’s been fantastic to see and hear part of what happens during the lessons and it has given me a huge appreciation of how patient, talented, kind, enthusiastic and professional your music teachers are - especially of course Ivan and Noa. They have been so good to Josh and such great role models for him to look up to. So I wanted to pass on my thanks and best wishes for a nice holiday break and to let you know we are looking forward to next term, possibly even in person!
Thanks from Donna and Josh 3/7/20
Hi Mike and Vanessa,
I’ve been meaning to send this email since the end of last term. Thank you so much for seamlessly organising the online lessons. I think they’ve worked so well and Shea has continued to learn through this medium. Also, a very big thank you to Tim, Shea gave up trumpet for two years as he’d had a couple of negative experiences with teachers. However, since he started with Tim he’s been really enjoying the trumpet again. Not sure what magic Tim has worked on him! Shea is planning to play the last post outside our house this Thursday, amazing!
Anyway, thanks again Mike and Vanessa, we look forward to next term.

Thank you very much, we look forward to seeing you all again on the 1st; and thank you for the extra credit for the referral, not expected, as it’s a given to refer you, you provide a great business. ??

Oh I know, I'm disappointed but in Yr 11 have to let the kid make his own decisions. We have really loved every minute and you guys have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Professional AND relaxed - like being amongst family. You form a wonderful community around Turramurra which we have been proud to be a part of. And yes you can quote me. Kylie Koch
Our son has been learning trumpet and trombone at The Learning Lounge for 6 years and loves it. He is always energised after his lesson with Tim. Our daughter has just started this year on saxophone and has had a great experience also. I would highly recommend The Learning Lounge for learning any instrument. Kerryn Agnew
With regret, today will be Max Tobin's last lesson with
Lorenzo Colombo on Tuesday's, as he commences year 12. After almost
5 years at The Learning Lounge, and more than 4 years with Lorenzo,
it is definitely with regret. In year 7 Max had difficulty performing
solo, but Lorenzo worked wonders with his technique and confidence,
so for year 9 and 10 elective music he was playing solos confidently
and never needed prompting to practice!
Lorenzo has been outstanding and we recommend him highly.
Thanks so much to all the learning lounge team, being
so patient with missed and make up lessons, and always being a cheerful
and friendly space.
Dianne Tobin.
Hi Mike,

BIG thank you to you both for all the hard work in putting on the concert on Sunday, it was appreciated very much by the Drummond Family!
Kind regards, Trisha, David, Lochi and Ewan
Dear Vanessa and Mike
Thanks for all your hard work! We are lucky to have such a great bunch of people and Teachers at the Learning Lounge (big thanks to Dean and Lorenzo). I just wondered if you could also thank Mike Richards for drumming in the ensemble on Sunday, he was awesome.
Kind regards
The Drummonds
PS Vanessa, wow what a voice!
Vanessa/ Mike,
What a great business you run. So many proud kids/ parents and such a relaxed environment for them to shine. I feel very lucky we discovered the Learning Lounge. Nathan has really flourished since starting there about a year ago and Mike Richards has ben wonderful to him.
Cheers

My son has been having lessons at The Learning Lounge with Dave Horgan for the past 2 years. He really enjoys his lessons with Dave and says he keeps him interested and engaged. I find that The Learning Lounge has a relaxed yet professional approach. They are up to date with how they teach the kids.The teachers are professional, enthusiastic, down to earth and make it fun while maintaining professional structure. Great place. Thanks Mike and Vanessa - Victoria E.
David (Horgan) is definitely the best drummer I've ever come across. He is a very good teacher. He's been teaching me for 2 years and I'm brilliant now too!

The Learning Lounge is a fantastic music studio. They offer many different instruments and the teachers are very friendly and accommodating. What is different about this studio is the style of learning they offer. The staff are working musicians and are up to date with all the latest repertoire which appeals to kids and keeps them interested. My daughter has been doing drums for 2 1/2 years at The Learning Lounge and still absolutely loves it. I highly recommend it.
J. Whiteman (B.A Dip. Ed. Post Grad Dip Prim Mus)
This is a really cool place. I loved it from the very first moment. The people are cool and extremely nice and friendly. Everything is very well organized and my kids make good progress with their instruments. The Teachers are patient and nice so that learning an instrument is really fun.

I have 2 daughters who have taken lessons at The Learning Lounge for the past 3 years. We Love the relaxing atmosphere, encouraging Teachers and friendly staff. My daughters love their lessons and have learned a great deal - Sandra T.
My son has been a student at The Learning Lounge for the past 5 years. Whilst I had reservations initially about his desire to play the guitar my fears were quite unfounded. He absolutely loves coming to his weekly lessons and to hear actual music you can recognize coming from his bedroom is as they say "music to your ears". He may not be the next Jimi Hendrix but he has a fantastic teacher who lets him play whatever he likes. The Learning Lounge is a happy, friendly environment where learning to play is fun, rewarding and worth every penny - Jaye W.
I have two boys learning different instruments. Both boys thoroughly enjoy their classes and admire their teachers greatly. In the 12 months of tuition they play confidently. Everyone associated with The Learning Lounge are cheerful, polite and only too happy to help with any problems - Cheryl C.
I've been attending The Learning Lounge for 2 years now and I still love it. The Lessons are always interesting and different and my teacher always ensures that I have fun - Angie C
Our 9 year old son has been coming to The Learning Lounge for 18 months. The quality of teaching is to be recommended. Our son has lessons for drumming and is in 2 school bands. He has achieved such high standards that he is already performing drum solos in Band Competitions. He is encouraged and expected to practice. He is praised and enjoys his lessons so much more for it. I thoroughly recommend The Learning Lounge for any instrument. Judging by the quality and dedication of our tutor I am sure that this is the standard for all tutors - Lee Ann G.
I started learning guitar at The Learning Lounge
a couple of years ago and
I’ve found that its really great if you want to pick up a new
instrument,
because the teachers are friendly and you get to learn in a relaxed
environment. The sessions aren't like lessons at school 'cause you
get to
learn what you want to learn about, rather than just having to learn
what
your teacher tells you to. So yeah, it’s great. And I’m
having fun. - Josee D.
If you want to learn any musical instrument I highly recommend coming to The Learning Lounge. I have learned a great deal from my teacher "Mike" and am also having fun in the process - Jarrad S.
