Our Ethos for Learning Music

Our mission at Woodriver Studios is to guide and mentor our students through the challenges involved in learning an instrument while making the lessons as enjoyable, accessible and rewarding as possible. 

After all, learning a musical instrument is fun, exciting and all about overcoming challenges. With every challenge we overcome, our instrument becomes more fulfilling and enjoyable, allowing us to continually learn, grow and discover our own creative voice.

Our team of passionate teachers understand that learning an instrument isn’t just about learning a new skill, it’s also a journey of self-expression, conquering fears, building confidence, meeting new people and most of all, just having a lot of fun. 

Whether you're a complete beginner who wants to learn their favourite song or a seasoned muso who wants to hone in on their theory and technique, our lessons cover all aspects of learning, including:

  • grades and music exam preparation.

  • improvisation and developing your own creativity.

  • opportunities to perform and take what you’ve learnt to the stage.

One of the highlights for our 15 year old son each week is to catch up with Isaac and Liam for guitar and drum lessons. Not only are the boys terrific 'teachers', they are truly lovely and genuine fellas and mentors for our son. Their dedication and commitment is something my husband and I will be forever grateful for.
