THE POWER OF MUSIC
It's our reason for being
AMSA creates a welcoming environment for people of all abilities, with a platform that provides independence while developing social and skill development through fun, interactive, and deeply rewarding music and instrumental-based sessions and experiences.
Our programs support diverse learning styles, from visual and auditory to kinesthetic and multi-modal learners, improving fine motor skills, communication, confidence and self-belief.
Autism Music Australia's unique colour-coded programs make music accessible, allowing participants to easily and independently play music.
Our adaptable approach builds confidence, strengthens relationships, and provides new opportunities to connect with family and peers whilst gently supporting each individual's unique pace and creative flow as it changes from day to day.
Talk one-on-one with one of our friendly team members to have your questions answered and find out how we can help create the perfect music journey for your child/adult/participant.
Music has a unique ability to assist people with a peaceful sense of focus and presence. It allows children and adults to calm their minds while immersing themselves in the moment.
Playing music is well known for enhancing emotional well-being and positively impacting how we approach life with greater assurance, creativity, and resilience.
Our programs celebrate even the simplest of achievements. This positive learning environment unlocks confidence, boosts self-esteem and fuels personal growth through music, often empowering kids and adults to thrive in all aspects of their lives.
Join us in 2024 and discover the power of music for your child.
A UNIQUE COLOUR-CODED SYSTEM
Our revolutionary colour-coded system adds a whole new dimension to music learning and gives kids a powerful advantage as they begin their music learning journey.
Think of our colour-coded system as training wheels on a bike. Without them, many people would never learn to ride.
This colour-coded system provides a whole new visual trigger designed to speed up the development of the fine motor skills necessary to play music easily and correctly on their chosen instrument.
EVERY ACHIEVEMENT IS CELEBRATED
We believe every achievement is a HUGE SUCCESS to be CELEBRATED!
Although learning music is what it is all about, for us, it comes second to making your child feel like they are able to achieve anything in this life.
It could be the simple things like hitting their hand on a drum for two beats in a row or being able to confidently find the middle C on a piano.
Or more tricky things, such as playing "Fur Elise" by Beethoven, the guitar solo of "Sweet Child o Mine", or the latest Tailor Swift or Ed Sheeran song, it is all celebrated equally by our teachers.
We consistently focus on building exceptional confidence and having stupid amounts of fun throughout our time together.
BREAKING DEFINITIONS WHILST PROVIDING POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS
Once you join any of our programs, you will no longer hear definitions such as Autistic, ADHD, ADD, Dyslexic, etc.
You will hear phrases such as "uniquely gifted", "incredibly talented", "you are such a quick learner", "you did that so quickly", "I love how you interpreted that and did it in your way", etc.
All delivered with excitement, positivity, presence and confidence, creating a special, safe, trustable space that is fun and exciting.

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 self-confidence.
I cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible impact these online courses have had on my kids.
After the program, they both continue to play music and now have one-on-one teachers, whom they love and will continue with for many years to come.
Jay's commitment in these sessions is unparalleled. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that my kids feel they are in a safe and trustable environment to thrive.
His ability to provide constructive feedback while nurturing their creativity and unique gifts has been instrumental.

These courses are incredible!
The encouragement and support provided in each course instilled a new-found sense of confidence and self-belief that went on to shape many areas of my child's journey.
The lessons are always so much fun. Each lesson is taught with a gentle, nurturing energy, filled with inspiration, accountability and rewards for perseverance.
The way Jay and Autism Music Australia created these courses to embrace each child's unique skill sets no matter where they are at is like nothing I have ever seen.
My child loves the weekly online group jam sessions with Jay; they are the highlight of his week.
He says: "I always learn heaps and have an awesome time with all the other kids. We do something new each week, and I hear and play music I have never heard before. Jay is the best teacher in the world! When I grow up, I want to be like him."

If all your child ever does musically is a few of these lessons and follows along with what is shared, they will get really good really quickly.
The courses are incredible, and these weekly live sessions keep my kids extra motivated to play music each week and continue with their musical growth.
Sometimes, they play drums or pots and pans, sometimes they play guitar or piano, it just depends how they feel.
They love that they get to choose their instruments each week and just play.
And best of all, I get 45 minutes to myself whilst the kids are being looked after, best babysitter ever!
Thank you Jay and team, you guys are all incredible teachers and so kind and supportive with my kids.
Eternally grateful.
