We plan on hosting our Student Concerts in Term 4, at the end of the year.

More details on venues and dates will be released closer to the dates.

All students should be prepared to arrive with their sheet music (if needed), a lot of practice behind them and a can-do attitude!

A piano is provided in each hall. Music Lessons Australia will also provide students with music stands and microphones where needed. Guitar students must bring their instrument (and amp, if electric) to the concert. Woodwind, brass and string students must also bring their instruments to the show. 

All students of MLA are asked to perform two pieces demonstrating their technical ability. Any style, genre, experience level or arrangements are welcome. 

The only requirement we ask of all student performances is to keep their total performance time under 6 minutes long. If your student is eager to play for longer than 6 minutes, please send in a special request.

In the past, we’ve seen students play solo works, with backing tracks, teacher & student duets and even sibling duets! We welcome all performance ideas, as our concerts are a place of creativity and support!

Yes! As well as supporting your student community performances, you will also get to experience live teacher performances! We hope to inspire our students and show them what years of dedication and practice can achieve. 

This year, we are also celebrating the achievements of our wonderful teaching community at each concert. Students and teachers can nominate themselves for one of 5 awards.

1. The Music Teacher of the Year Award – State Winner: Given to the top music teacher who has demonstrated exceptional teaching skills, commitment to their students, and dedication to music education. At the end of the year, each state winner will compete for the Music Teacher of the Year – Australian title.
