FAQ’S

All of our music lessons are in-person, although you (or your children!) are welcome to use our online student portal to further your learning at home, as it will contain a syllabus made bespoke for you.

Music lessons are a financial and physical commitment. You have to show up regularly to receive the maximum benefit from our teaching! However, there are many cognitive and motor-related benefits to learning a musical instrument that far justify this commitment. Discover more, here.

We teach the piano, guitar, ukulele, drums and bass. However, we also teach students how to upgrade their singing skills to a professional standard! Our teaching is diverse and adaptable.

If you’re concerned about the terms and conditions of our music classes in Takapuna and the surrounding suburbs, please give us a call. We will transparently explain what we expect of our students, and how our term-by-term lessons work.
