“Highly recommend Little Explorers Preschool. Our child loves it there. Fantastic facility, amazing outdoor space for the children to play which is what attracted us here originally. Great staff and a very community oriented small center.”

“My daughter had singing lessons with Gina through her primary and secondary school years and really benefitted from the experience. Gina took her through all the singing grade exams, plus theory papers. I really rate Gina highly as a music teacher. She is a kind, patient and warm person with a genuine love of music and vocal performance. She has a real knack for bringing out the best in young people because she is so encouraging and positive. Her end of year concerts are a great way for students to show their progress and these are well-attended and well-run. As a parent, I have appreciated the hard work she put in to make these a success. My daughter is currently studying for a Bachelor of Music degree, majoring in Performance Singing. She could not have got this far without all the years of quality teaching from Gina, who prepared her so well for this phase of life. As a parent, I am very grateful for everything that Gina has done for us and have no hesitation in recommending her to others.”

“A great safe way to improve your skills”

“Casselle's incredible background has afforded her a vast wealth of knowledge and experience that we are so lucky to have access to in North Canterbury. She is a generous and flexible teacher who's genuine passion for her craft is obvious. Her teaching style and her level of understanding for the student and what they need was so appreciated by my teen. I highly recommend her as a teacher and as a human being!”

“I highly recommend Diamond Lodge. My 9 year old daughter has been attending weekly lessons for the last year and has really developed her confidence and skills with Diamond Lodge while having fun at the same time! Her progress in such a short space of time has been truly remarkable. Credit to Sarah the instructor who is patient and highly skilled. Great for parents like me who don't own a pony as my daughter can now do Pony Club too.”

“Great enthusiastic teachers in an amazing modern facility. My children started with the Academy several years ago as beginners and one is still playing with the orchestra 8 years on.”

“A couple of ratings with these folks, one on a pretty complex and rare type. Experience and dedication of instructors evident - thanks partic to CJ. Highly recommend.”
