Arlene enjoyed 4 years of Kindermusik classes with her daughter, from baby to toddler to pre-schooler age. She then trained and taught Kindermusik for two years before retiring to have a second child.

She has since re-trained to resume her role as a Kindermusik educator. Having attended other early childhood music programs before, Arlene truly believes Kindermusik offers the best, most effective early childhood music program out there. The classes are fun - the music beautifully crafted, ranging from folk songs to modern beats to African chants, with playful musical activities and dances like Irish jigs, Maypole dance and the Virginia Reel.

One thing's for sure - the classes are never boring for the children and adults alike!

Arlene has a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, an AMEB Grade 7 level in Pianoforte and Level 4 Music Theory. She also sings for the choir, Mothersong, based in North Perth.

She feels privileged to be part of the Kindermusik family, and finds enormous joy spending time in a classroom full of children singing, playing and making music together!

Elena Vercraeije

Owner & Director of Kindermusikby7notes, Elena finds it is her duty to grant children a better beginning in life through music and thinks that every child deserves to be familiar with the gift of music at an early age.

Elena was a musical child and enjoyed music making from early years and had a dream to learn to play the piano. She fulfilled her dream and completed a formal classical musical education on the piano.

Teaching Kindermusik and piano/keyboard to the children of different ages gives her a strong confidence about the endless possibilities of music in regards with development of life skills in children and bringing up a well-rounded personality.

Besides music, Elena has a wide range of interests, including arts, science and has Tertiary degrees in Economics and Design.
