About Us

Key Music Australia has been working with Primary School Band Programs for over 20 years.

We provide Band Conductors for Beginner and Senior Bands and Music Tutors for Brass, Woodwind, and Percussion (primarily in group lessons) for primary school students in Years 3-6.

We currently work with 6 Primary Schools on the upper North Shore and surrounding areas, and expect this number to grow in the coming years. Our motto is ‘Making Band Fun’ and our Band Programs are focused on providing music education that is accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

About our Conductors

Our work follows the NSW school term calendar, and our Bands generally rehearse before school. As such, availability between 7:30am–9:00am on several school mornings each week is essential. Conductors must be available to commence ongoing work from February, and be able to commit to a consistent schedule for the full school year. Some training may be held during Term 4 depending on your availability.

We tailor our roles to match your talent. Casual or permanent Part Time opportunities are available for the right candidates.

For Conductors who are also interested in Music Tuition - we offer tutoring in Brass, Woodwind,



and Percussion onsite at each school in small group lessons before and after school hours, with some limited tuition work available within school hours.

Our Conductors and Tutors collaborate on student progress to ensure that our bands sound great, and there is support and training if you need it, or want to expand your current skill set. Most importantly, we think being part of the School Band is a pretty awesome introduction to music, and our Conductors must live and breathe our motto of ‘Making Band Fun’.
