A little more about us…

What We Provide:

MUSIC LESSONS:

The Buttery Music School specialises in teaching 1 on 1 and small group music lessons to kids and adults aged 5 years to 1000 years old. If you are over 1000, you are too old. Currently we provide lessons in drums, guitar, singing, piano and bass guitar plus a band program and an early childhood music program. Everything is taught by one of our eleven Buttery music teachers. All of our music teachers have extensive experience as professional musicians, and have become part of the Buttery family because of their warmth, passion, and ability to inspire.

BAND PROGRAM:

Our band program helps kids and adults form bands, write songs, record albums, and start gigging alongside one of our amazing Buttery music teachers. Wherever you want to take your musical journey, we are there. This band program is a lot more than just a practice, it is the real deal. You are a musician in a band! Not only do we guide you on this journey and provide you endless gigging and recording opportunities, we teach you subtle arts such as the etiquette of being a musician, how to create and jam alongside others, how to handle tricky band dynamics, and how to deal with the ups and downs of being in a band. Not only this, you have band members who can become like family! Please note, you do need to be in one of our weekly music lessons to be able to join a band.

EARLY CHILDHOOD MUSIC PROGRAM:

For the kids aged 5 to 8 years old we have a special early childhood music program called Little Rockers, where we learn the basics of rhythm and melody through a variety of thrilling adventures including trashcan percussion, ukulele, keyboard and singing. The core focus of this program is to instil a love of music, and a confidence in students’ abilities to adventure in music. We also focus on their ability to connect with and listen to others through music.

COMMUNITY:

One of the number one reasons The Buttery exists is to create an awesome community of legends who feel awesome in who they are, and celebrate everyone else around them. We tend to find that people who don’t ‘fit in’ to school or society often find a home in The Buttery, and we are so honoured to provide that space. We also often work with people who are looking to music as a way to gain self confidence, creativity and happiness in daily life.

The Buttery Music School is proudly a queer, female-owned organisation. At the heart of The Buttery lies inclusivity and raising up people of all minorities, such as the LGBTQIA+ community, and First Nations people.

The Buttery’s Core Values:

WE ARE HERE TO…

1. Foster a warm and exciting community for people of all walks of life - the misfits, the confused, the adventurous, the scared and the excited. This is a place for you to feel safe, warm, and inspired.

2. Help people discover their spark and to be the funkiest version of themself

3. Take people on a journey in music to calm, release, express, and destress 

4. Inspire a new wave of musicians who value making music with feeling

5. Teach people the ethos and skills to be able to live a life as a musician
