Eastern Suburbs School of Music

My 2 boys have been to a couple of music schools in the past and it was exhausting getting them to engage in their lessons. The teachers at ESSM are so kind, patient and engaging with the kids that my older daughter is now wanting to learn the drums. Highly recommended!

My young son has just started to learn the violin here and is loving it. From my first email contact to the first lesson, the staff were very helpful and friendly. The violin teacher is friendly, approachable and professional - my son responds to her very well. Would not hesitate to recommend Eastern Suburbs School of Music for anyone interested in learning an instrument.

My son had a number of years of lessons with ESSM when he took up violin in high school. His teacher was very supportive and flexible and he now has developed a life-long love of music.

Two of our children have been taught by the Eastern Suburbs School of Music for 10 years between them. Our oldest learned guitar and his teacher was nothing but encouraging and an excellent teacher right throughout his experience into VCE. Our youngest is a percussionist through school and wanted to get more lessons in drum kit with ESSM - his progress is just amazing! Well done to both teachers, Rhys and Nick - you have managed to teach them so much while maintaining a great attitude that they look forward to their lesson every week. Fully recommended A++

I cannot recommend ESSM highly enough as a great place for anyone at any stage of their musical journey - and at any age! I started bass lessons earlier this year (in my late 40s after playing woodwinds 30 odd years ago) and have been loving it. Daniel is an amazing musician, outstanding teacher and one of the most supportive people you'd ever meet.
A couple of months ago I auditioned with and joined an originals alt rock band and that wouldn't have happened with Daniel and the ESSM team. Thanks so much and keep up the good work!

This school is great for anyone interested in learning more about music. There are lessons available on most popular instruments and lessons are suitable for any skill level from beginner to advanced. Everything from first learning your instrument to music theory is covered in an relaxed environment. All styles can be covered from metal, to blues to jazz to classical etc. Late classes are great for people who work or study full time. I highly recommend giving it a go

My son's guitar teacher Jason is dedicated, enthusiastic, an excellent communicator but mostly he gets the best out of my son. My son has passion for guitar and singing now and it is amazing how much he has learnt in a relatively short period of time. My phone call to ESSM to organise lessons was a fantastic decision and we haven't looked back.

The Eastern Suburbs School of Music (ESSM) is a great place to learn. I was able to complete my VCE thanks to the help of my VCE theory lessons supplied to me by ESSM, buliding my confidence up with my theory as well as teaching me to play guitar. Over the last 5 years ESSM has helped me grow as a musician, complete my music diploma with ease as well as aiding me to learn both guitar and ukulele. The Eastern Suburbs School of Music has incredible teachers, fun and enjoyable lessons, fantasic opening hours, great rehearsal rooms, live performance shows, and rock band workshops. Would recommend to everyone!

Great teachers at ESSM. My son has been taking drum lessons for quite a few years, currently completing VCE Music Performance, with great support from his teacher Luke, and also Jason at the Rockband workshops. Plans are now for further study in Audio Engineering /Sound Production following VCE.

I joined the Eastern School of Music for Ukulele lessons. Dave has taught me for over a year and I have gained lots of confidence performing. It's a really friendly and supportive school, and something for all ages.

I have had a fantastic experience learning at the Eastern Suburbs School of Music and highly reccomend the experience to anyone who's even remotely interested in learning an instrument or singing!! The lessons are really well done and the teachers highly skilled, wouldn't learn anywhere else!!

I was a student a couple of years back who wanted to improve my guitar skills. I had always been a pro singer but never gigged solo due to not being good enough on guitar. With what I learnt in my lessons I am now confident and much better on guitar, and now play mostly solo acoustic gigs and can do this thanks to what I learnt from my lessons at ESSM!

Our daughter has been taught drums by the school. The teachers are very experienced, patient and encouraging. Would definitely recommend the school for an aspiring musicians.

This place is great for musicians of any skill level. I've been there for 3 years, and I have loved every second of it. The teachers there are awesome, and can teach you something new every lesson. Definitely recommend trying out.

Awesome Teachers
Great place to get Music Lessons.
Recommended to anyone wanting to learn musical instruments.

My daughter is a current student of the school and the teaching style matches the students capabilities. Very knowledgeable and professional.

I am studying a violin there and everything was amazing! I would recommend everyone who wants to learn musical instruments to go there.
