As a point of interest and establishment, we offer a unique and engaging learning experience for music enthusiasts of all levels. Our group classes are designed to provide students with the benefits of participation, discourse, observation, connection, and the opportunity to build a valuable social network within the music community.

At Music Classes Canberra, we understand the importance of individual goals and progress. That's why our courses are specially developed for adult students, providing an engaging and collaborative group platform while recognizing and emphasizing personal aspirations. Whether you are an absolute beginner or have some experience, we have classes tailored to your needs.

For those starting their musical journey, our Piano 101 course introduces you to the piano, offering easy, logical, and step-by-step methods to gain familiarity with the instrument. We focus on building the foundations of playing and reading a written score.

If you already have some experience in reading and playing from a score, our Piano 201 class is perfect for you. This course focuses on improving playing and practice techniques, enhancing literacy, musicianship, theory skills, and expanding your repertoire.

We also offer Music Reading & Theory classes for beginner to intermediate students at two levels. Our entry-level covers basic note reading, rhythm, melody, and harmony, while the next level delves deeper into the elements of music, building on foundational theory.

For those with prior theory knowledge, our Composition & Arranging class explores the language of music through applied score analysis, form investigation, and compositional techniques. You will have the opportunity to dive into writing and arranging your own music.

If you have an interest in indigenous, folk, and non-Western classical musical styles, our World Music class is perfect for you. This course explores ancient and traditional music from various regions around the world, including Asia, South America, Latin America, the Caribbean, Pacific Islands, and Africa.

Music Classes Canberra is led by the award-winning composer and pianist, Rasa Daukus. With extensive experience in music education, Rasa is passionate about teaching music creatively. She has taught at the tertiary level, written educational piano works for students, and created music content for various learning platforms.

Before establishing Music Classes Canberra, Rasa was the Director of Music at the University of Canberra, where she developed a highly successful practical group-focused music tuition program for continuing adult education. Our classes are modeled after this program, offering a proven and effective learning experience.

Please note that our main teaching venue is Ainslie Arts Centre. However, we do not manage the premises and cannot assist with room hire.

At Music Classes Canberra, we also acknowledge and pay our respects to the Ngunnawal people, the traditional custodians of the land on which we live, work, and learn. We recognize their ongoing connection to the land and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
