Come and fall in love with learning piano, guitar & singing with us at our music studio in Maroubra!
Welcome to the MP community!
At Music on Purpose, we believe that music can change the world.
We’re a cozy studio based in the heart of Maroubra, in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney. Our team are passionate about teaching piano, guitar, and singing lessons in group and private lessons for students of all ages and skill levels.
Our lessons aren’t just designed to teach musical skills, but also empower students to grow in their confidence and love for music.
We are so proud to work with a team of incredibly talented musicians who genuinely want to make a difference in their students’ lives and will continue providing performance opportunities and events for our students to have goals to work towards!
Plus it gives our community more opportunities to get together throughout the year which is a huge up!
So, what makes us different?
At Music on Purpose, we take a holistic approach to teaching music. This means, our teachers get to know each student: their goals, interests, and learning style, then design lessons that fit them as a whole person, not just a skill set.

Why Music Lessons?
-
Learning music just because it makes you happy might be one of the best choices you’ll ever make.
Picking up a hobby matters for staying balanced, and learning an instrument gives your brain a serious boost too.
When you find a good mix of work, rest, and play, everything feels better.
Playing piano, strumming guitar, or singing for fun can help with things like coordination and even lower the risk of dementia later on.
Our teachers are professional, friendly, and focused on building your confidence and love for music through piano, guitar, and singing lessons.
-
Choosing to learn piano, guitar, or singing at any age is an amazing choice. It’s an investment. Not just about the cost of lessons - budgeting for regular classes and, if you don’t already have one, your own instrument is important. It’s an investment in your mind, your brain, and your mental health.
For us, music is more than turning up to a weekly class. Our music lessons are designed to do more than teach notes and technique: they’re designed to help you build confidence, deepen your love for your instrument, and enjoy creative expression.
When you genuinely enjoy playing, when lessons are fun and feel meaningful, you’ll want to pick up your instrument outside of class. That’s where real progress happens.
The more you enjoy practicing, the more comfortable and confident you’ll feel, and the more you’ll notice yourself improving.

If you’ve got a little one who and you’re wondering if it’s too soon to start music lessons - we totally get you!
Whilst it’s easier to state an age, we do see it as a case-by-case situation. We recommend starting music lessons from age 4+. But the important markers we look for are:
1) Do they genuinely enjoy music?
2) Can they sit and focus for half an hour without mum or dad?
3) Can they listen to instructions?
If you’ve answered no to all of those questions, our advice is to wait until all 3 boxes are ticked.
If you’ve ticked 2/3 boxes - we’d love to chat to see if music lessons will be suitable and see how we can create an environment to support your little one.
If all 3 boxes are ticked - they’re ready for their first music lesson!
-
Kids really are like little sponges. They soak up everything around them.
When you introduce piano, guitar and singing early, their brains light up and they pick up musical ideas fast.
Putting them in a music-rich environment helps them learn patterns, sounds and rhythms almost naturally.
Starting music lessons while they’re young also boosts hand-eye coordination and builds confidence.
Learning music or languages as an adult takes a bit more time and effort but because kids come with a blank slate, they can pick things up and retain skills a lot faster.

Do Group Piano Lessons Work?
-
Our group piano classes have proven to motivate students to practice more, feel more comfortable to show their true personality, develop a sense of leadership, teamwork, and feel a strong sense of belonging.
We’ve seen our students to discover their leadership, express their sense of humour, and find a deeper sense of meaning as they learn to find their voice in the context of a group, and learn to embody a team-player mentality.
-
We want every student to feel seen and heard, therefore keep our group classes at a micro-scale (maximum 4 students).
It is of utmost importance that we provide a safe, nurturing environment in our group piano lessons to allow students to feel at ease and fully comfortable to be themselves.
Each student will have their own 88-key fully weighted digital piano, and will work through a variety of pieces - ranging from classical songs to duets curated for the class where each student will play a different part (melody/accompaniment) — when played together will sound harmonious.
