After years of hands-on research combing through more studies on technique and application than we care to count, we’ve cracked the formula for real, lasting results. We’re not talking years from now. We’re talking months, or even weeks — as long as you follow the programme as instructed.
And unlike schools that run every student through the same tired repertoire from AMEB Series books, we build a personalised training module for each individual. No two are the same, because no two students are.

Yes and no. While the Victorian Music Teachers Association provides a recommended hourly rate, it doesn’t advise on anything less than an hour. We stay close to that figure, though the rate should always commensurate with the experience on offer.
We also believe lesson length matters. Like sports, music is 70% physical, and we love it because it’s not just purely academic. That’s why our sessions run between 1 and 2 hours. We mostly don’t offer 30-minute lessons because we simply don’t believe any meaningful progress can be made in that timeframe. Having said that we consider every student on a case-by-case basis.

All music lessons are held on an individual one-on-one basis.

Both, and everyone in between. Music learning can begin at any stage of life, whether you’re a young child, a teenager, or adult returning to a lifelong dream.
For children, we generally recommend starting from age 5, as this is when most kids have developed the motor skills needed to begin. That said, exceptionally coordinated children can start earlier, and we’re happy to assess on a case by case basis.
