PRAISE FOR ARTISTIC REVOLUTIONS
"We had Sian provide Music & Movement sessions fortnightly at our playgroup for 2 years. She was amazing – both the children & parents loved her sessions! - they were interactive, engaging & fun! Sian is so skilled in working with & engaging a range of age groups from babies to pre-schoolers and we were always excited to see what new activities she had organised for the next session. Her range of instruments were a big draw-card too. I would thoroughly recommend Sian’s programs to anyone." (Michelle - Facilitator Healesville Playgroup)
Eastern Health
"Super educational. The Mount Evelyn Community House currently offer music classes each Monday and the facilitator Sian, is brilliant! A mum and a music educator, she brings with her a mix of engaging activities that help teach music from the very beginning! From teaching the musical lingo, exploring rhythm and dance through story telling and dress ups (have you spotted the caterpillar in the cocoon?) and breath control with the rainbow sphere, your kids will take away so much learning from these sessions! Sian quickly picks up all the names and really connects with the kids through her gentle and positive nature - really getting into the spirit of music class down on the floor with everyone!" www.mammaknowseast.com.au review
"We are going to Rockin' tots and their faces light up with excitement. They have a real connection with Sian as she always speaks to each child on arrival. They both have come a long way in appreciation of music. Playing the big drum is a favorite. Concentration for 45 mins is amazing! Treasure box and parachute (with lights) - they both talk about it on the way home in the car...
"Just a quick note to thank you for the beautiful music experience you gave the children today. It was simply delightful. I really appreciate your talent, skill and the beautiful way you present your craft to the children." Lilydale North Preschool
Artistic Revolutions is not just a business, it's a life. You are able to be anyone you want to when you step in for your lesson. You can be Beyonce or even Ella Fitzgerald. Singing helps me escape society and it's madness and Artistic Revolutions is one place that I can be me. I can express my feelings through busting out a ballad or show my fun side singing a pop song! Artistic Revolutions helps you to widen your dynamic range and to improve your chosen genre to sing in :) With fantastic teachers that aren't judgmental, you are able to boost your confidence in the practice room, which eventually contributes to your confidence outside in society. Artistic Revolutions isn't just a school, it's a family :)

I'm writing on behalf of my 11 year old daughter, Tayla Stevenson. Tayla has enjoyed every minute of her singing and drama classes and is always so excited to attend your classes - I would have no hesitation in recommending Artistic Revolutions to anyone. Tayla has improved greatly as a result of your invaluable teaching techniques. You have also been an absolute delight to deal with, always professional, calm and never without a smile - you obviously enjoy what you do! Ros Scotts-Stevenson (Hamilton Island). A huge big thankyou for consistently sending out of your place, one very happy girl , it makes my week just to see the smile on her face after just one hour with you two, oh and oscar too. Just needed to let you know how special you are , THANKS again :) P.S. I suppose I should also mention the fantastic change in her musicality too :P I could listen to her sing all day :)
Love from a very appreciative mum � �
