Teachers 

Our teachers and founders are local, friendly, open-minded, and passionate about sharing their knowledge and experience. We always foster a learning environment that enables students to feel safe, comfortable, and eager to learn, while also fulfilling musical desires of student AND teacher. We strongly believe music lessons are most enjoyable and musically satisfying when teachers and students are comfortable and creatively engaged. Therefore, OMNI Music Lessons are tailored for students AND teachers!

OMNI Music Lessons teachers have all undergone tertiary education, and have current Working with Children Checks (WWC).
