All teaching is conducted through individual tuition and adapated for the individual students needs. Musical instruments and styles offered are modern and classical piano, electronic keyboard, electronic organ and theatre organ.
Music school functions are arranged throughout the year which include student concerts, workshops and student exam performance practices. Opportunities for exams through the Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB), or Australian Guild of Music Education (AGME) are also available, or students can just play for fun and pleasure.
