or for skills development for the new AMEB MusicCraft Syllabus.
A powerful 3-keyboard organ allows organ students flexibility to perform in a variety of styles.
Contemporary Teaching Studio:
this teaching room offers the latest Roland equipment for music backings.
These are available for most modern music courses,
including
Alfreds, Microjazz, AMEB, Contest Winners, & Complete Piano Player.
Synthesizers: a range of modern keyboards and modules are
available.
We also teach MIDI and computer audio courses.

We use these for Theory workshops,
and for our

Production).
Auditorium: we have a small auditorium with seating for up to 40 people, with suitable PA and lighting.
This lets our students perform for parents and friends at our mini-concerts.
FREE Practise Piano: a digital piano is often available for free, to allow students to

Experienced
Government Education Provider |
Our
head teacher has over 20 years teaching experience, and has worked as a
music consultant for The NSW Department of Education, Roland, Kawai,
& several TAFE Colleges.
The school is a Gazetted Government Education Provider.
Very few private music teachers have this status.
Recording
Studio Facilities |
Our soundproof
studio offers students the ability to record using advanced sound
modules and synthesizers, master in 32-bit digital audio, laser print
scores at 1200dpi, and record to either CD or DVD (with their own video
clip if they want!).
We use the latest
software, such as
Adobe Audition, Finale, Logic & EXS-24.
Audio is
processed by 24bit pro-tools standard hardware,
with thousands of samples, loops and audio cels available.
Video facilities are also available, with editing in many formats.
HSC students are welcome to book time to do their projects!
Each
semester we offer workshops on subjects like:
Digital Recording; Computer Basics;
How To Upgrade Your Computer; Making Your Own CD's etc.
We also offer VTAB music industry courses,
utilizing not only our excellent facilities,
but
also working studios in Sydney.
Disability
& Equipment
Access |
With driveway access, no steps, and wide doors, access is easy!
We have a music library with around 200 books and 2000 CD's.
Binding & laminating are also available on-site.
We have A4/A3 photocopying, and an official Government Copyright License (SE-3887), allowing us to make legal copies for students.
Very few teachers have for this license.
We have 1,800 MIDI files, a range of legal music software that we have arranged to distribute
FREE to our students, and an assortment of FREE classical music books.
SMC and the students support Kalkidan Semegn,
a young girl from Woreda, Ethopia.
Students can write to Kalkidan if they wish:
her letters to us are published in our newsletter.
Waiting
Facilities For Parents |
We have comfortable seating both indoors and outdoors. Tea and coffee facilities are available.
The attendance (and indeed the participation) of
parents at music lessons is welcome!
Younger students often benefit from the encouragement of a parent;
and teachers benefit by having someone at home that knows what should be
practised.
We
teach morning, after-school and evening classes.
Please call on 4751-6196 for
an appointment.
