Meet Our Team
Professional musicians. Caring educators.
At Blockhouse Bay School of Music, your child is taught by a team of formally trained, professional musicians who also love working with young people. Our tutors are not just good players – they are experienced educators who know how to explain clearly, encourage gently and build confidence over time.
Our teachers are:
Experienced – with solid teaching and performing backgrounds
Formally qualified – holding tertiary-level music degrees or diplomas (or completing them)
Caring and child-friendly – patient, encouraging and able to connect with children and teens
We take care to match each student with a teacher who fits their age, level, personality and goals, so that every lesson feels safe, supportive and genuinely productive.
