Andre de Villiers
Public Speaking, Piano & Music Theory
“The biggest reward for me as coach is seeing the joy on the faces of students when they master something that they thought was impossible when they started.”
Sonja Arndt
Art
My passion is art and I strive to carry this over to my students! There is a huge reward for those who finish an art piece and I just love seeing that twinkle in my students eyes! Art is a language spoken that is intimate and personal between the artist and the viewer. It’s a road you start walking that’s never ending and rewarding! I love teaching art!”
Ina Steyn
Piano & Music Theory
“Music is needed to give balance in life – the most effective way of therapy to stimulate your brain positively!
It’s absolutely amazing for me to experience the progress and satisfaction of my students. Young children from 4 years, school children and up to adults – never ever too late to start!
Come and join us and deal in the fun of piano lessons!”
Amaris Robyn Thomas
Violin
“Violins are unruly instruments at any level. You will surpass your mental and physical limitations by learning it, but you will find a freedom in playing it. I love seeing my students embrace being playful and wild.”
Vernette Wilkens
Saxophone
“I just love the saxophone! From clear bright classics to husky blues and silky jazz- the sax has a unique edginess. You and your sax become one voice when you play. It’s incredible! I want my students to experience that thrill, too. That’s what makes me want to be a coach.”
Lana Coetzee
Drama
“I always remind myself on a Sunday night that you have 50+ kids who can’t wait to see you tomorrow, that’s pretty special don’t you think? And that impact is what I strive for every week.”
Alouise Peens

Ana van Achterbergh
Drama & Musical Theatre
“The Drama class is a safe space to explore inner emotions and feelings, you can be you, here we take the masks off.”
Riandi Barnard
Guitar, Singing, Music Theory
“In all the years of teaching, I still feel privileged to teach music and see how students grow. The excitement every week to see what progress my students have made is inspiring. Students inspire coaches just as much as coaches inspire students. I will never tire of seeing students grasp the significance of music.”
Hester de Villiers
Guitar, Music Theory, Piano and Singing
“Anyone has the ability to learn to play. The biggest challenge is to overcome the voice in your head that says you can’t.”
Pieter Venter
