Why do we do it?
At Maxx Music, we believe that music is an essential part of life! We love contributing to our students musical journey, and seeing where their talents take them. Many studies show that learning a musical instrument benefits the physical, mental and emotional health of both children and adults. Children and their parents often notice increased learning ability, better concentration levels and improved coordination. Music Lessons also teach discipline, nurture creativity and have been shown to improve self-esteem and confidence. For adults singing can be a great stress buster, mood lifter, memory booster as well as a great way to meet new people.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age do you need to be to take lessons?
Our private individual music lessons are suitable for school aged children 5 years old and up. We find that five years is generally the best age to start practising weekly and being able to focus during lessons.
Do you offer group lessons?
Our experience has shown that students grow better as musicians in a focused 1-1 environment so our ongoing lessons are individual and adapted for each students learning style. From time to time, we offer group workshops and school holiday programs which are great for exploring new interests – call our friendly team to find out upcoming dates.
Do you teach adults as well?
Yes, at Maxx Music teach students of all ages! It’s never too late to learn to play an instrument or take singing lessons. Our teachers will tailor music lessons to suit your needs and goals.
You say you have flexible payment terms. What does that mean?
Whilst you are welcome to pay for a full term of lessons, you are not obliged to. You can pay for a full term, a half term or a minimum of 3 weeks lessons in advance. These can be paid for in cash, credit or Direct Debit.
What happens if I can’t make a lesson?
Give us a call as soon as you know you can’t make it – provided you let us know before your lesson is due to start and tuition fees are up to date, we can schedule a make-up lesson. We offer all students the flexibility of up to three make-up lessons per term, subject to availability. See our Make-Up Policy for full details.
Do you prepare students for AMEB exams?
Yes, our teachers are well trained to prepare you or your child for AMEB exams. Your teacher or lesson coordinator will be happy to take you through how the process works. Our retails stores offer a comprehensive range of AMEB books so that you can find the perfect examination piece.
Do students get the opportunity to perform?
Absolutely! At Maxx Music we know that performing is an essential element of learning to play an instrument or sing.
Our Showcase Performances give our experienced students or students who have progressed exceptionally well an opportunity to perform in a larger, external venue. ‘The Session Space’ at Rouse Hill is used regularly for smaller recitals.
In addition, we are often invited to perform at events and festivals providing our more experienced students with even more opportunities to develop their performance skills.
