MELODIC MINDS IS JOINING LVK MUSIC.

From 31 August, Melodic Minds Music School will become part of LVK Music, with Nico Arena and her team making the move from Young Street to LVK Music’s studios at 239 Beach Street, Frankston.

After years of building Melodic Minds into a thriving community, Nico has decided to step back from the day-to-day responsibilities of running the business as she focuses on her growing family. She will, however, continue doing what she loves most by teaching and supporting students as part of the LVK Music team.

For existing Melodic Minds families, the most important thing to note is that there will be very little change. Nico, Charlotte, Cloey and Summer will continue teaching, existing class times will remain the same, and students will continue learning in the warm and supportive environment they know and love.

Simon and Lauren Levick have built LVK Music into one of Frankston’s leading music schools, helping hundreds of local students discover a love of music through private lessons, group programs and performance opportunities.

As long-time members of Frankston’s music community, Simon and Lauren are incredibly excited to welcome Nico, her teaching team and Melodic Minds families to LVK Music, while preserving the culture, relationships and sense of community that have made the school so special.

The move is a natural fit, with both schools sharing a similar philosophy and teaching approach centred around creating warm, nurturing and welcoming environments where students feel supported, encouraged and inspired to grow.

This announcement follows the recent expansion of LVK’s Beach Street studios and further strengthens an offering that includes instrument sales, accessories, instrument servicing, private lessons and group classes for students from six months of age through to adulthood.

Together, Melodic Minds and LVK Music will continue creating even more opportunities for local musicians and families to learn, perform and connect through music.
