Strong Musical Foundations Start Here
Learning music is incredibly powerful—especially in the early years. At Forte Music Dee Why, we make every lesson fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate for young children. Using a proven multisensory approach, we teach music the way children naturally learn language—through listening, moving, exploring, reading, creating, and playing.
As students grow, they develop a broad range of skills including reading music, playing with confidence, understanding theory, improvising, composing, memorising, playing by ear, and performing in concerts. Each stage builds on the next, creating clear progress and strong foundations. Parents consistently notice the learning advantages Forte students carry with them into school and beyond.
We offer courses for every age and stage, with supportive pathways from babies through to adults.

“I feel so lucky in my life that I have been able to work in my passion. As one of the founding Directors of Forte School of Music, I have been involved since its inception in 1993. Even after so many years, I still am so thrilled by seeing children learning and playing music as well as building their own confidence and self esteem in themselves. Forte truly is an amazing place to learn music!””
