Little Rockers
EARLY CHILDHOOD MUSIC LESSONS
Little rockers is our general music program for kiddo’s aged 5 TO 8 years old.

Throughout this curriculum, we play while we learn about rhythm, harmony and working with other musicians to make rad music! In this program we learn trash can percussion, ukulele, singing, keys and body percussion. It’s super fun, and the perfect introduction to music. During the 30 minute session we move quickly between a vast number of musical activities to keep things spicy for those active little minds.
Especially at this age, our main goal is to help our students develop a love of music, and a confidence to be able to adventure into the wonderful world of music. We believe that if we form this first, our students will find it far easier to learn music as they have already developed a joy for it. This program is designed to gently begin introducing musical concepts to them through games and musical adventures, allowing the group lessons for ages 8 years and above to flow perfectly out of this program.

Meet Our Little Rockers Mentors:
Tash james
Tash is a singer, flautist and songwriter, and mum to two young ones. She loves to play music with people of all ages, and especially loves to see the pride in children's eyes when they realise they are capable of not just listening to music but creating it too.
Tash gigged in London for several years with her seven-piece Funk/Jazz band; she also sang in gospel choirs in the city and is currently studying Jazz Vocals at the Queensland Conservatorium. Aside from music, she used to work as a Counsellor for children and young people, and brings her empathic and patient nature to the studio.
A former nomad, Tash is of mixed Afro-Caribbean/English/French/Portuguese heritage, and grew up in England, the Middle East and Hong Kong. She counts herself lucky to now call Brisbane home, and is so grateful to be able to bring her children up in such a beautiful place.

Jess Chate
Jess is a singer-songwriter who’s been making music since before she could speak. Raised in a musical family in the Northern Rivers of NSW, she’s grown up with a deep love for music’s power to bring people together through connection and community.
Performing since the age of 12, Jess now shares her heartfelt, “fizzy indie-folk” songs under the artist project Serendipiti. Alongside her band, she’s had the joy of supporting acts like Infinity Song, Saije, and Jem Cassar-Daley, and performing at events including the Woodford Festival of Small Halls and QUBE Effect Finals.
Currently finishing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music at QUT, Jess also contributes to youth creative education through her work with The Infinite Game, a UNESCO-awarded documentary exploring the power of the arts in young lives. She’s deeply passionate about creating inclusive, emotionally safe spaces where children feel free to explore their feelings and begin to use music to make sense of the world around them.
In her wider world, she’s loved leading songwriting workshops for children at the Byron Writers Festival with author Zanni Louise, co-conducting choirs, and supporting youth through mental health camps. At The Buttery, Jess endeavours to bring a warm, uplifting presence to every session and to create a space where children feel seen, supported, and inspired to fall in love with music.
