Our 12 yr old son loved his bass guitar lessons with Peter and got so much out of his experience in such a short period of time. We found the 1/2hr lessons almost werent long enough. The 1hr long lessons flew by and he very much looked forward to each session. Thanks so much Peter and Wentworth!

I am taking guitar lessons (acoustic) and my instructor is David at wentworth music. I am learning a lot and I have improved my guitar skills a lot! I would highly recommend registering your child for music lessons. I also appreciate that you can get lessons for any and every instrument you want including singing!

I take voice and guitar lessons here and I love it. Everyone is so nice, even at the beginning when I was super nervous for both lessons and the amazing shows they put on. So worth it, doing those shows is a lifetime highlight for sure

Our two children have been taking music lessons with the Wentworth Education Centre over the past 10 years. Our son, Jace (18), has taken piano lesson for 5 years and our daughter, Jinny (16), who is still taking drum lessons and loving it, has taken a variety of lessons through Wentworth Music, for the entire 10 years. In addition to her drum lessons, she has taken lessons in guitar, violin, piano, and singing. Here is why Noel, and his wife, Laura, and their entire staff rock! (No pun intended) :
The musicians/instructors, that have taught our children, have been very skilled

Wentworth Music Education is amazing! The staff are friendly and my daughters instructor is professional, warm, patient and a great educator. My daughter takes both piano and singing lessons. She has learned how to play piano and read music in record time. Her confidence in singing has grow so much. The quality of instruction at Wentworth is above and beyond what we expected. Highly recommend!

I started guitar lessons a few months ago and I couldn't be more pleased with my progress. I started playing the guitar just a few years ago and without instruction I eventually came to a standstill. Since taking lessons I am now playing with more confidence and learning so much it's fantastic. I highly recommend Wentworth Music Education without hesitation. Thank you to David Barber as well. Excellent teacher with heaps of talent. Very patient and lots of fun.
