From Leah & the BMS Team 

What Some Of Our Families & Students Think…

Both myself and my children have had singing, guitar and piano lessons with Brisbane Music Studio for several years, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. The studio is professional and modern, there is a nurturing, supportive atmosphere for all students, and the teachers are delightful. Having the opportunity to perform publicly twice a year is a huge benefit to the confidence of all students, young and old(er)!

Angela Gardner

As a parent, being in an environment, it is vital that teachers not only teach the technical aspects of music, but importantly are warm, inclusive and build confidence in the process. I have been absolutely delighted with BMS, Leah and the other teachers we have had. Both my kids were reluctant at first, but are now loving it! They now confidently sing in performance groups at school and enthusiastically take other performance opportunities. I’m so impressed, that even I’ve joined BMS as a singing student (never too late to learn) and in the choir. BMS is what all performing arts schools should aspire to be.

Sonya Trau

Stop looking…BMS is the best musical tribe to belong to in Brisbane!!! It’s not just about being technically good, any music teacher can do that. It’s what they bring to your child to make them shine inside and out that makes BMS special. Our teenage daughter has been part of the BMS family for over 3 years now. The teachers are incredibly engaging with her, always striving to improve her skills just that little bit each time. My daughter feels she is in a safe and truly encouraging environment, this is what she lives for, this is where she belongs.

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!
How Do You Bill?
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.

Do You Offer Make Up Lessons?
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.
Do You Work With Kids AND Adults?
Yes! We have almost as many adults at BMS as we do kids and we love teaching all ages.
Do You Offer Group Lessons?
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. In some situations it doesn’t work well in the grouping, but it’s definitely worth trying!
How Old Do Kids Need To Be To Start Violin, Viola or Ukulele Lessons?
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.
