About Us

MUSIC SCHOOL We are a long established teaching school, with approximately 350 weekly students currently enrolled. Our teachers are tertiary graduates, and specialist performing musicians in their instrument. We offer individualized lessons in Piano, Electronic Keyboard, Flute, Saxophone, Clarinet, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Violin, and Music Theory. The lessons are individualized: you decide the style of music you wish to learn, and the type of approach you wish to employ to reach your goal, and we work with that. We must also say that at times you will need to take advice from your teacher, and develop specific skills and techniques that will help you reach your goals. And over-riding all is the requirement that you engage in regular Instrumental Practice at home, which will provide you with the improvement needed to make the whole experience of learning music an enjoyable one.

MUSICAL STYLE

We have teachers who specialize in contemporary styles (such as blues, rock and jazz) and those who stay with more traditional styles. But overall your teacher will work with you to develop the essential basic skills required to play whatever type of music you wish to be comfortable with.

MUSIC EXAMINATIONS

Examinations are a very effective way of setting goals, and gaining practice in public performance. We have many students doing music exams, and our teachers are very experienced in following the various syllabi.

We offer the following music examinations on site at Learn Music:

• ABRSM
• AMEB
• ANZCA
• TRINITY-ROCK SCHOOL

To prepare you for the examination we have a thorough system of progressive assessments as the exam dates get closer. This involves private performances in front of an experienced teacher, and public performances for small groups of students. Performance practice classes are a regular part of our schedule, whether you are participating in exams or not.

ENROLLMENT PROCEDURE

We are available now to talk with you about your specific musical requirements.
This discussion will enable us to determine which of our teachers will best suit your needs. From here we will organize a time for you to come in for a “trial lesson”. This lesson is not free, but it will allow you to decide whether you will be comfortable with the teacher we have chosen for you, and that you will be happy with the facilities we provide at Learn Music.

After the trial lesson you will be able to decide whether you wish to enroll with Learn Music. If you do, we will allocate a time when you will come for your lesson at the same time every week.

You will receive an invoice for either a block of 6 lessons (if you are an adult), or a full, or remaining part of the school term(if you are a school student). This invoice is payable in full when you come back for your lesson the following week.
