What are our customers saying
"Our son gets to attend a holiday Camp Rock every year- he would attend each holiday if he could. The tutors are incredibly talented and passionate musicians and though the children come with different levels of experience they are musically driven children and do incredible compositions at the end. He has grown in his confidence on stage and gets the chance to branch out into other instruments which is great for him to explore. He absolutely loves his time here." (Parents of 6 year old boy)
"My daughter has loved every single class and workshop she has done with Ignite. She has attended other holiday programs and really struggled with overwhelm and anxiety, but has never had a single problem at Ignite. She always comes away proud, more confidant, and wanting to go back again and again."
(Parent of 8 year old girl)
"We've sent our three boys to the Ignite School Holiday Program for the last three school holidays. They've made new friends, found hidden talents, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute... so much that they can't wait to go back! I'd highly recommend the Ignite holiday workshops to everyone - giving sanity for the parents, and fun entertainment for the kids."
(Parent of three boys age 8, 11 and 13 years)
