GUITAR - PIANO - RHYTHM (DRUM) LESSONS & PROGRAMS
Our specially designed programs use innovative, colour-coded systems and interactive lessons to support a wide range of learners — visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and multi-modal.
Whether it’s guitar, piano, drums, or rhythm and songwriting, our lessons are tailored to build confidence, fine motor skills, communication, and independence.
We place social and recreational learning at the heart of everything we do, creating a supportive space where students can connect, grow, and thrive.
With a flexible and adaptable structure to our instrumental learning programs, our offerings now also include weekly fun and interactive "Live Online Jam Sessions" (with kids from all over Australia now coming together every week), songwriting programs, and an educational support training program for parents and carers.
We believe in the limitless potential of every individual, and we bring that to life through music learning every day.

THE POWER OF MUSIC
It's our reason for being
In collaboration with Autism Music Australia, academic experts, and industry professionals, we’ve created an inclusive, fun, and forward-thinking environment where excitement and creativity are boundless.
Our interactive portal supports independence, life skills, and creativity with fun, accessible lessons tailored to each learner’s pace.
With our unique colour-coded programs, students can easily learn to play instruments and express themselves through music.
With three dynamic learning streams, our flexible approach builds confidence, strengthens relationships, and creates meaningful connections, all through the joy of music.
Join us in 2025 and discover the power of music for your child.
Music has a unique ability to bring calm, focus, and presence. It helps both children and adults settle their minds and fully immerse themselves in the moment.
Playing music is known to enhance emotional well-being, fostering greater confidence, creativity, and resilience in everyday life.
At the heart of our programs is the celebration of every achievement, no matter how small.
This nurturing, positive environment builds self-esteem, unlocks confidence, and supports meaningful personal growth, often empowering individuals to thrive in all areas of life.
A UNIQUE COLOUR-CODED SYSTEM
Our unique colour-coded system adds a powerful new dimension to music learning, giving children a real advantage as they begin their musical journey.
Think of it like training wheels on a bike — without that support, many might never learn to ride. In the same way, our colour-coded method offers visual cues that make learning easier, faster, and more enjoyable.
By providing clear visual triggers, this system helps develop the fine motor skills needed to play music confidently and correctly on their chosen instrument.
EVERY ACHIEVEMENT IS CELEBRATED
While learning music is at the core of what we do, our top priority is helping your child feel confident, capable, and inspired — like they can achieve anything in life.
Whether it's something simple, like tapping a drum twice in a row or confidently finding middle C on the piano, or something more advanced like playing Für Elise, the solo from Sweet Child O’ Mine, or the latest Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran hit — every achievement is celebrated equally and joyfully by our teachers.
We’re all about building confidence, celebrating progress, and having a ridiculous amount of fun along the way.
BREAKING DEFINITIONS WHILST PROVIDING POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS
Once you join one of our programs, you won’t hear labels like Autistic, ADHD, ADD, or Dyslexic.
Instead, you’ll hear phrases like:
"You’re uniquely gifted."
"That was incredible!"
"You’re such a quick learner!"
"I love how you made it your own."
Our team speaks with genuine excitement, positivity, and presence — creating a safe, joyful space where students feel truly seen, celebrated, and supported.
This is more than just music education. It’s a place where confidence grows, creativity shines, and every individual is empowered to realise their potential.

"A Game-Changer For Our Family"
Learning with Jay and the Australian School of Music for Autism and Special Interest Learning has been an absolute game-changer for my children’s musical growth, self-development, and confidence.
I can’t express enough gratitude for the incredible impact these online courses have had. Since completing the program, both of my kids have continued to play music and now work with one-on-one teachers they adore — relationships we know will continue for many years to come.
Jay’s commitment is truly unmatched. He consistently goes above and beyond to create a safe, supportive, and trust-filled environment where my children can thrive.
His ability to offer constructive feedback while nurturing their creativity and unique strengths has made all the difference. We are so grateful to have found these incredible programs.

"These Courses Are Truly Incredible!"
The encouragement and support in each course instilled a newfound sense of confidence and self-belief that has positively shaped so many areas of my child’s journey.
The lessons are always full of fun, taught with a gentle and nurturing energy, and filled with inspiration and encouragement.
What Jay and Autism Music Australia have created is unlike anything I’ve ever seen — a program that truly embraces each child’s unique abilities, no matter where they’re at in their musical journey.
The weekly online group jam sessions with Jay are the absolute highlight of my boy’s week.
He says:
"I always learn heaps and have an awesome time with all the other kids. We do something new every week, and I hear and play music I’ve never heard before. Jay is the best teacher in the world! When I grow up, I want to be like him."
These programs have been nothing short of life-changing for our family.

"The Best Babysitter Ever – And So Much More!"
If all your child ever does musically is just a few of these lessons and follows along, they’ll improve so quickly — it’s honestly amazing.
This community and these courses are incredible!
The weekly live sessions keep my kids extra motivated to play music and continue growing each week.
Sometimes they play drums or bang on pots and pans, other times it’s guitar or piano — it just depends how they’re feeling.
They absolutely love having the freedom to choose their instrument and simply play.
And the best part?
Every jam session, I get 40 minutes to myself while the kids are engaged, happy, and looked after — best babysitter ever!
Thank you, Jay and team — you are all such kind, supportive, and incredible people.
Eternally grateful.
