OUR PHILOSOPHIES
The Music Academy is a growing contemporary music school which was created to provide a professional learning experience for students of all ages and abilities. We teach students from age 4 to adults, beginners to professional.

LAURA, HEAD TEACHER
vocals | guitar | flute | ukulele
Laura is the founder of The Music Academy, and has been teaching music since 2015. She completed her Bachelor of Music majoring as a vocalist, and has been playing flute since 1999 and guitar since 2007. She now works as a teacher and professional musician, performing as a singer and guitarist (and sometimes with a bit of piano).
As well as teaching all of these instruments individually, Laura also teaches singing with an accompanying instrument. If you'd like to be able to sing and accompany yourself on the guitar or ukulele at the same time, Laura can show you how!
BEN, GUITAR & COMPOSITION
teacher
Ben has been playing guitar since he was 8 years old, his love for the instrument quickly expanding to any instrument he could get his hands on. Having written music since he was 12, he decided to study music composition at UNSW, graduating with honours first class in 2022. He has been teaching since 2017, with a focus on the joy of music and the community it creates.
Ben travels to you for lessons in the comfort of your own home!
KYRIAKI, VOCALS, PIANO, VIOLIN, GUITAR, COMPOSITION
teacher
Kyriaki’s music journey started at 8 years old and hasn’t stopped since. Her love of music has moulded her into a professional multi-instrumentalist, performer and award-winning songwriter. As well as writing and playing music for over 14 years, Kyriaki’s experience includes having studied at The Conservatorium of Music and over half a decade of music teaching.

ALEX, PIANO
teacher
Alex started playing piano at 9 years old, and has since filled his life with music and performance. This love motivated him to pick up many extra instruments to accompany his piano journey, most notably the bass guitar in 2015. He has been teaching music since 2018, with a particular focus on sharing his enthusiasm for music theory, improvisation and performing.
Alex travels to you for lessons! If you are a beginner looking to learn lifelong musical skills, or a more experienced musician looking to expand your abilities, Alex can help you out!
