Poco Music Tuition is managed by co-directors Paul Toovey and Maria Fakitopoulos-Toovey.

Maria holds a Bachelor of Music from Melbourne University, majoring in Classical Guitar and Piano . With 20 years’ experience in music tuition, Paul and Maria have found a great call for private classes for young beginners. As a result, they have managed very successful programs with a number of Primary Schools, where students have received private lessons during school hours.

This is a rapidly growing method of music tuition offering many benefits to students, parents and Schools!

Poco Music Tuition nurtures young students to develop solid practical and theoretical music skills in an interactive and encouraging environment. The lessons also provide the ideal foundation for students to advance to AMEB examinations.

All Tutors are highly qualified within their area of expertise, are VIT (Victorian Institute of Teaching) registered or hold a WWC (Working With Children) Card.
