We know many parents wonder if online learning can truly meet their child’s needs, especially when it comes to something as hands-on as music.
That’s why we’ve created a different kind of online experience, designed especially for autistic and neurodivergent children.
Our interactive, self-paced programs use a gentle, innovative colour-coded system that makes learning feel clear, calm and achievable. Paired with live weekly online jam sessions led by passionate, experienced teachers who care deeply about each child’s journey, your child will feel supported, seen, and part of something real.
It’s not just accessible, it’s meaningful. And it works.
Start their musical journey with confidence, clarity and joy, because every child deserves to be heard.

3 STREAMS NOW AVAILABLE
Flexibility and adaptability are key...
At Autism Music Australia, we’ve helped thousands of uniquely wired children thrive through the power of music. No pressure, no overwhelm, just gentle guidance tailored to how they learn best.
Our fun, flexible online starter programs in guitar, piano and rhythm (drums) are a welcoming first step for all abilities. With our colour-coded, sensory-friendly approach, even beginners feel at ease from day one.
When your child is ready, they can continue with one-on-one lessons led by specially trained teachers who personalise the journey to suit your child’s pace, interests and learning style.
But this is more than just learning an instrument. Our programs are designed to build confidence, support fine motor development, encourage communication, and foster independence. With visual, auditory, kinesthetic and multi-modal supports, we create a safe, accessible space for both verbal and non-verbal learners to shine.
Because when learning truly meets your child where they are, remarkable things can happen.
No pressure to perform. No prior experience needed. Just a curious mind and a space where your child feels seen.
We’re here to guide them step by step on a musical journey that celebrates who they are.
LIVE WEEKLY JAM SESSIONS
Where the magic happens...
Create a jam space that feels like home. Guitars, keyboards, coloured lights, even smoke machines if you like. Whatever helps your child feel excited and ready to play.
Our live interactive weekly jam sessions are where it all comes together. Every Thursday at 5 pm during the school term, students log in from across Australia to play along, explore their favourite songs, and enjoy the music they’ve been learning in a relaxed, supportive setting.
Led in real time by our experienced instructors, these sessions are a highlight for many kids. They are fun, energising and inclusive, and for parents, they offer 30 minutes of well-earned breathing space.
Students help choose the songs, from current pop hits to classic favourites, and they get to connect with like-minded peers who love music too, all from the comfort and safety of home.
Participation is always flexible. Whether your child wants to play along, listen quietly, or simply soak in the experience, their choice is respected and supported. Every level of involvement is welcomed and celebrated.
Because joy, connection and self-expression should always be part of the learning journey.
Learning with Jay and the team at Autism Music Australia has been truly life-changing for my children. Not only has it supported their musical growth, but it has deeply nurtured their confidence and sense of self.
The online programs have had an incredible impact. I was unsure at first, but now I couldn’t be more grateful for the way they’ve been designed to meet each child where they are and help them thrive.
Both of my kids have since moved into one-on-one lessons with teachers they absolutely love—and I can see this becoming a long-term part of their lives.
Autism Music Australia's commitment to their students goes far beyond music. They create a space where my children feel safe, supported and truly understood.
Their ability to offer guidance while celebrating their individuality has made all the difference.
This has been more than music lessons. It’s been a gift.

These programs have been nothing short of incredible.
The encouragement and support built into each session gave my child a new sense of confidence and self-belief that has flowed into so many other parts of his life.
Every session is fun and engaging, taught with care and purpose. There’s a beautiful balance of gentle guidance, inspiration, and the kind of encouragement that helps kids stay motivated and proud of their progress.
What truly sets Autism Music Australia apart is the way Jay and the team embrace each child’s unique strengths, regardless of where they’re starting from. I’ve never seen a program like it.
The weekly online jam sessions with Jay and team are the highlight of my son’s week. He looks forward to them with so much excitement and joy.
In his words: "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’ve never heard before. Jay is the best teacher in the world. When I grow up, I want to be like him."
As a parent, nothing means more than seeing your child happy, confident and inspired. This experience has been truly special.

If all your child ever did was join a few of these sessions and follow along, they’d still build strong musical skills in no time.
That’s how engaging and effective these programs are.
The weekly live jam sessions have been such a powerful motivator for my kids.
They look forward to playing music every week and are growing in confidence and creativity with each session.
Some days it’s drums, other days it’s piano, guitar, or even pots and pans.
They love having the freedom to choose what they play based on how they’re feeling. That sense of choice means everything to them.
And for me, it’s 45 minutes where I know they’re not just entertained, but truly supported and learning.
It honestly feels like the best kind of babysitter, one that builds skills, joy and independence at the same time.
Jay and the team are not only incredible teachers, they are kind, encouraging and deeply attuned to each child’s needs.
We’re so grateful for this experience.

A COLOUR-CODED SYSTEM THAT MAKES MUSIC CLICK
For many children, traditional music lessons can feel overwhelming, too much to remember, too many steps at once. Our gentle, colour-coded system changes that.
Think of it like training wheels on a bike. With that extra layer of support, children can focus on the joy of riding, rather than the fear of falling.
In the same way, our colour-coded method provides clear, visual cues that make learning music easier to follow, quicker to grasp, and far more enjoyable.
This approach is especially powerful for children who thrive with visual structure. It removes the guesswork, builds fine motor skills step-by-step, and helps them play confidently, at their own pace, in their own way.
Because when the path is clear, your child can focus on what matters most: the joy of making music.
EVERY ACHIEVEMENT IS CELEBRATED
Yes, music is what we teach, but confidence is what we’re really building.
For some children, success might be as simple as tapping a drum twice in a row or finding middle C on the piano without assistance. For others, it might be playing "Für Elise," the solo from "Sweet Child O’ Mine," or their favourite Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran song.
No matter the milestone, big or small, our teachers celebrate it with the same joy and encouragement. Because every step forward means your child is growing in skill, confidence, and self-belief.
We create a space where progress is recognised, where children feel proud of what they’ve achieved, and where learning is as much fun as the music itself.
Because when a child feels they can succeed here, they start to believe they can succeed anywhere.
REDEFINING WHAT CHILDREN HEAR ABOUT THEMSELVES
When your child joins our program, they won’t be defined by labels like Autistic, ADHD, ADD, or Dyslexic.
Instead, they’ll hear things like:
“You’re uniquely gifted.”
“That was incredible!”
“You’re such a quick learner.”
“I love how you made it your own.”
Every interaction is grounded in genuine encouragement and presence.
Our teachers create a safe and joyful space where children feel seen, valued, and celebrated for who they are.
This is more than music education; it’s an environment where confidence grows, creativity shines, and each child is empowered to discover just how capable they truly are.
SONGWRITING & COMMUNITY
You are not alone & every child holds limitless potential
We believe that with heart and soul, anything is possible.
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.
As a parent, you want more than just a music lesson. You want a space where your child feels calm, supported, and able to focus, without feeling pressured or overwhelmed.
You want them to feel proud of themselves, to build confidence that lasts long after the lesson ends, and to be part of something that truly understands them.
Music has an incredible way of bringing calm, focus, and presence. It can help children slow down, settle their minds, and feel at ease in the moment.
In our programs, every achievement, no matter how small, is celebrated. This ongoing encouragement helps children believe in themselves, take on new challenges, and grow in ways that surprise even them.
We create a safe and positive space where your child can thrive in music and in life, one step, one note, and one celebration at a time.
Our Parent and Carer Education Support Training Program is designed to give you the clarity, confidence, and tools to actively support your child or client throughout their musical journey.
In this short, practical course, you’ll see exactly how we use music to build independence, develop social skills, and nurture confidence, while introducing you to our unique colour-coded systems that make learning clear and achievable for every child.
Most importantly, you’ll discover simple, meaningful ways to connect with your child’s musical interests and encourage their growth. You’ll learn how to reinforce what they’re working on in each session, so their learning continues long after the lesson ends.
We’ll guide you through the fundamentals, guiding principles, and core values that shape our approach, making it easy for you to feel supported, capable, and ready to help your child succeed.
Because when parents and carers feel confident, children flourish.
