Frequently Asked Questions

1. How many classical pieces are typically taught in a year at SMA ?

At SMA, students typically progress through a minimum of three grade levels of classical repertoire per year.

We focus on developing proficiency in reading music across four octaves, rhythm recognition, and musicianship.    Additionally, we cultivate musicianship, discipline, courtesy, and a refined musical sensibility,

ensuring that students develop both technically and with strong character.

2. Do my kids need to complete every AMEB/ ABRSM exam from Grade 1 to 8?
Sitting each grade exam is not required. Our professional training methods are designed to prepare students thoroughly, allowing them to sit for Grades 5, 6, 7, and 8 if they wish to pursue exams or music scholarships.

3. Is daily practice expected for my child?

Yes, daily practice is encouraged. As a parent, you’ll play an essential role in supporting your child’s practice routine, ensuring they enjoy the process and follow their teacher’s guidance. For younger children, you may also be asked to assist with music games and exercises to reinforce their learning at home.

4. When is your lesson availability ?

 To begin, please complete the form and send us a performance video at SydneysiderMusicAcademy@gmail.com.

Once we have reviewed your video, we will schedule a paid initial lesson.

  If the initial lesson is successful, you will begin to continue with SMA’s premium lessons in the upcoming term (subject to availability). We will then contact you to arrange your lesson schedule.
