Progress you can see (& wear!)

As they progress through the curriculum, students earn coloured Upbeat wristbands—like karate belts—by completing songs and exercises in their workbooks and passing a short test with their teacher.

Everyone starts with yellow and works their way up to the prestigious black wristband.

It’s a simple, exciting way to celebrate progress, build confidence, and keep the practice going at home—loved by kids and parents!

Got your own goals? No worries—we tailor lessons for HSC music, auditions, or whatever you’re working on.

Milestone Moments.

From colourful wristbands to “Student of the Month” shoutouts, we love celebrating progress. It’s all about helping students feel proud of how far they’ve come and excited for what’s next.

Fun Challenges with Real Rewards.

Our challenges aren’t just about practice—they’re about pushing boundaries and having fun. We mix things up with unique challenges that inspire students to try something new, perform, or take on a personal goal. Rewards include vouchers for fun spots like Event Cinema, Holey Moley, or Doughheads

End of Year Showcase.

The year ends with a relaxed, supportive performance where students can share what they've been working on with family and friends. It’s a chance to shine, build confidence, and celebrate how far they’ve come in a no-pressure environment.
