Forte School of Music Wantirna

The fundamental importance of the beat in music and its impact on reading fluency 🎵 Music is so important for a developing brain 😀🎵

Every clap, tap, and rhythmic beat that children can synchronise with might tell us more about their reading abilities than we previously thought.

Far from simple musical play, rhythm exercises emerge as powerful diagnostic instruments. Could they provide educators and parents with early insights into which children might face challenges in their reading journey?

Happy Mother's Day to all our Forte Mums! To the Mums, Grandmothers, Nanna's and those that watch over us from Heaven...today we salute you and honour you for being such an important part of our lives.
To my own Mum Rae - thank you for being the most incredible role model and loving mother and best friend that anyone could ever wish for! I am so fortunate to have you by my side for this adventure through life! Love your Kia x x

Miss Lauren, Miss Roselyn, and a bunch of our Forte Family are in a show! KISS ME, KATE is playing next week: 2nd - 5th of May at the Alexander Theater, Clayton (at Monash Uni). If you love the music of Cole Porter, you can't miss this highly acclaimed musical that reinvigorated his career and put his music back on the map! (plus we hear the singing is pretty amazing!!) 🎶💐

They shall grow not old,
As we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.

Tomorrow we remember and honour the 103,021 fallen service men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. For those who have served and for those who have gone before us who carried the burdens of war, we remember you and salute you. Lest we forget. Miss Kia & the Forte Team x x

It all began when he was a child and his parents gave him the gift of MUSIC! Just imagine where some of our talented students may end up in the future 🤩!
