What We Believe
At BMS we are passionate about teaching. We believe that everyone can learn music and that, with practice and great training, everyone can grow in skills and confidence, and we would love to be a part of that journey with you.
Lastly, and importantly, we believe that your lessons should be fun!
We really can’t wait to meet you!

Frequently Asked Questions
We know you have some questions, and we’d love to answer them for you. So if we haven’t covered them here, please get in contact!
Yes! We regularly prepare and successfully submit students for AMEB examinations through multiple syllabi.
When you enrol you’re charged upfront for the first three lessons (at the rate above), to give you a chance to make sure happy and keen to continue, before we invoice you for the remainder of the term and on a term to term basis thereafter. This gives you a chance to try it out (without a big investment!) and locks away the time for you.
We can make payment arrangements for families to break up the payments into a few manageable lumps.
Absolutely! As long as at least 24 hours notice is given of an absence then we would be delighted to organise up to two make up lessons for you per term. Of course, if there is an emergency situation we would love to chat to you about how we can support you.
Yes! We have almost as many adults at BMS as we do kids and we love teaching all ages.
Absolutely! We don’t organise groups ourselves, but if you’ve got a friend, sibling, family member or neighbour you’d like to learn with then please get in touch. NB: Group lessons aren’t available for drums or piano.
Great question! Violin or ukulele lessons can start from age four. We offer 15 minute lessons at ages four and five, with 30 minute lessons commencing from age six.
