Our role is to create a healthy atmosphere, supporting the entire spectrum of music learning, music making, and music listening. As musicians we are in the business of making beauty, as educators we love working with students in developing a desire for excellence.
Because we understand that parents have such busy schedules we provide the convenience of lessons in school, during school hours. Alternatively we have the option of home lessons where our teacher will come to your home on a day and time that suits you.
Our lesson programs are very flexible. We can prepare students for AMEB and ANZCA exams. We also offer group and private lessons. As we understand that technology is changing the landscape of musical education in Australia, our lessons are modern, professional, educational, and most importantly they are fun!
Our teachers are committed to sharing their passion for music and their love of learning. Whether your goal is music for leisure or serious study, our teachers will help students reach their musical potential.
