Maxx Music History
In 1989, professional guitarist and entertainer Ben Finn realised there was a need in the, rapidly expanding, Hills District for an up to date and modern approach to teaching music in the area.
Maxx Music was born from the desire to provide high quality, professional tuition to people of all ages to ensure they could achieve their musical ambitions. Whether they want to perform on the largest stages in the world or simply sit and strum around the campfire with friends, we tailor our lessons to suit all needs, ages and abilities.
Our Mission
To encourage people of all ages, ability and background to learn, experience and discover a lifelong love of music. We will do this by providing the highest quality music lessons, delivered by experienced and qualified music tutors, in a supportive, nurturing and safe environment.

In addition, we also run regular School Holiday music activities including Band Days, Intro to sessions and Vocal Workshops.
Maxx Music is proud to be an Active and Creative Kids NSW Provider.
