"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 Programs 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.

LIVE WEEKLY JAM SESSIONS
Where the magic happens...
Get your child's jam space set up just right... all instruments, smoke machines and coloured lighting welcome!
Our live interactive "weekly online jam sessions" create an incredible environment for kids to come together and play all the music they love as they use their newly acquired skills learnt in their lessons.
Led in real-time by our instructors online every Thursday night at 5 pm during each school term, these unique jam sessions are the highlight of the week for many of our students (and for the parents because they get 30 minutes to themselves!).
Our students get to choose which songs we play, and we play all the latest hit songs by the artists they love (as well as some classic hits). All this whilst connecting with other like-minded musical kids in the safety and comfort of their own home.
All levels of participation are welcome as students may vary how much they choose to be involved depending on their mood on the day. This is nurtured and celebrated.
SONGWRITING & COMMUNITY
You are not alone...
We believe that with heart and soul, anything is possible — every child holds limitless potential.
Our signature Kids' Songwriting Program inspires children as young as 5 to write, play, and record their own songs. It’s magical to witness, and we feel privileged to see it happen every day in our community.
With a gentle focus on mindset, balance, and wellbeing, we support not only children but also parents and carers — empowering you with the tools to grow alongside your child.
Our comprehensive 27-module parent training program and companion support eBook are filled with practical knowledge, from tuning a guitar and sourcing instruments to understanding our unique colour-coded learning system.
Most importantly, our program strengthens the parent–child connection through shared musical experiences, jam sessions, and ongoing support.
We know the journey can have its challenges, and we’re proud to offer a safe, welcoming space where families feel truly supported.
Join our high-vibration community of parents and carers who are committed to helping kids grow with confidence and creativity. In our ever-growing nationwide network, families connect, children shine, and everyone progresses at their own pace — in their own unique way.
Sign up for one of our interactive, self-paced programs today and watch your child unlock their full potential through music.
A UNIQUE COLOUR-CODED SYSTEM
Our unique colour-coded system adds a powerful new dimension to music learning, giving children an incredible advantage through out 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.
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.
Our Carer and Parent Educational Support Training Program equips you with the knowledge and tools to confidently support your child or client throughout their musical journey.
This short, practical course explores how we use music to build independence, develop social skills, and reinforce the core principles at the heart of what we do — including our unique colour-coded systems designed for each learning stream.
Most importantly, you'll discover meaningful ways to connect with and nurture your child's or client’s musical interests and growth. You'll gain the clarity and confidence to support them in each session and help bring the learning to life.
Learn the fundamentals, guiding principles, and core values that shape our approach — delivered with success, ease, and grace.
