Specially designed music programs tailored for uniquely gifted individuals.
Our innovative colour-coded systems and engaging lessons make learning Guitar, Piano, and Rhythm (Drums) a fun, easy experience, with a primary focus on building confidence and limitless self-belief.
Partnering with Autism Music Australia, academic experts, and industry professionals, the Australian Music School for Autism and Special Interest Learning was founded to nurture and empower individuals through music learning, catering to everyone, no matter where they sit on the spectrum.
Our interactive, confidence-boosting programs celebrate every win, turning the journey of learning an instrument into an exciting adventure.
The Australian Music School for Autism (AMSA) is Australia’s first and only creative institute entirely dedicated to specialised music programs created for uniquely gifted children and adults on the spectrum and beyond.
Established in 2004, Autism Music Australia and the AMSA has over 20 years of experience teaching students the tools and knowledge that can assist and inspire them to begin playing, creating, and enjoying music and their instruments.
Every day, we see first-hand how playing music provides a sense of peace, focus and presence, often allowing children to calm their minds whilst completely immersing themselves in the moment without distraction.
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-learning journey for your child.
Join us in 2024 and discover the power of music for your child.
One of the most profound aspects of music is its ability to connect people in ways that words often cannot.
When you engage in musical activities together, whether through playful rhythms and songs or just learning or playing together, you’re having fun and building a strong foundation of trust through creativity and emotional connection.
Playing music together isn’t just fun—it’s a way to create lasting memories and strengthen the relationship with your child.
Whether you’re musically inclined or not, our courses are shaped so you can easily get involved, learn, and have fun with your child with no previous experience in music necessary.
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.
Here, anything is possible.

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.
Learning and playing music is well known for enhancing emotional well-being and positively impacting how we approach life with greater assurance, creativity, and resilience.
Our courses 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.
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 courses, they both went on to one-on-one teachers, whom they love and will continue with for many years to come.
Jay's commitment to his students 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.
