Looking for music for kids in the Sutherland Shire? Roolu lists ten music schools and studios in the area right now. They are spread across Caringbah, Menai, Sutherland, Jannali and Miranda. There are no music events or classes listed separately at the moment, so this guide is about the schools and how to choose one.
Who is listed, by suburb
The clubs below this guide link to each organiser. Here is where they are:
- Caringbah South: Caringbah Music and Caringbah Music School.
- Caringbah: Learn2Play Music.
- Menai: Menai Music, Menai Guitar School and Kindermusik with Shirley.
- Sutherland: Prodigy Music and The Vocal Zone.
- Jannali: Do Re Mi Studios.
- Miranda: Kennedy Music Academy.
From the names, you can see a few different directions. Menai Guitar School points to guitar, The Vocal Zone points to singing, and Kindermusik with Shirley is a Kindermusik program. The others are listed as music schools or studios, so check their pages to see which instruments they teach.
Questions to ask first
Our listings give the name and suburb, not the instruments, ages or fees. So it is worth asking each school:
- Which instruments do you teach, and from what age?
- Are lessons one-on-one, in small groups or in a class?
- Can my child try a lesson before we sign up?
- What does a term or a single lesson cost?
- Do we need to buy or hire an instrument, and when?
Matching the child
Some children know what they want to play. Others just like making noise. If your child is not sure yet, a school that teaches several instruments, or a group program, gives them room to find out. If they have their heart set on one instrument, look for a school whose name or page shows it.
Think about the trip
Music lessons are usually weekly, so travel matters. Caringbah and Menai each have more than one listing, which gives you a choice close to home if you live nearby. Check parking and the day and time on each school's page, and think about how lessons fit around school and other activities.
Still adding more
