Penrith Conservatorium Music Lessons and Ensembles

Ignite a lifelong passion for music with our programs at Penrith Conservatorium, Western Sydney’s heart of music education.

Whether you’re learning for leisure, or are determined to become the next musical prodigy, our professional teachers will help you develop your practical and theoretical music skills and achieve your goals.

Lessons, which run during school term times cover all musical genres, from classical to contemporary and musical theatre.

Throughout the year, we also offer our students a range of extra opportunities where possible. These may include live performances, behind-the-scenes experiences, and access to special ticket discounts.

We accept Creative Kids Vouchers for relevant Penrith Conservatorium lessons and ensembles.

School Instrumental Tuition and Band/Orchestra Program

If your school does not have a music program, we can help! Outsource your instrumental music program to Penrith Conservatorium.

We offer private and small group instrumental tuition, as well as a Band or Orchestra Program. Let us know if you would like the lessons to take place onsite at your school, or at our studios at The Joan, before, during or after school hours and we will take care of the rest!
