Minogue learned to play violin and piano at a very young age while taking singing and dancing lessons with her sister Dannii. In 1985, Minogue used her earnings from "The Henderson Kids" to record three songs with producer Greg Petherick at "Young Talent Time", a weekly Australian music programme which already featured Dannii as a regular performer. During her time in "Neighbours", Minogue joined a band along with cast members Guy Pearce, Peter O'Brien and Alan Dale, which Petherick arranged. He later suggested Minogue cover the song "The Loco-Motion" with the band during a Fitzroy Football Club benefit concert at the Festival Hall in 1986, where she also sang a duet of "I Got You Babe".
