Core Studios Sydney is a music school dedicated to nurturing young musicians through personalised lessons, group learning, and performance opportunities. Our unique Core Program focuses on building confidence, musical skill, and a lifelong love for music.

We are located at 2/17 Burwood Road, Burwood NSW 2134.

We offer programs for children ages 3.5 and up. Our programs include Explorers (ages 3.5-4.5), MiniCore (ages 4-6), and Core Program levels (Primer, Endeavour, and Mastery) for older and more advanced students.

We offer lessons in piano, guitar, violin, and vocals. Our program is designed to develop foundational skills across all these instruments, allowing students to grow and progress in their chosen focus.

During your initial call with us, we’ll discuss your child’s age, skill level, and goals to place them in the program that best suits their needs. We offer different programs tailored for each stage, from beginners to advanced students.

The Explorers program is designed for children ages 3.5 to 4.5 and introduces them to music through fun, hands-on activities across multiple instruments. It’s a 20-week, 45-minute group class focused on sparking curiosity and building early musical skills.

MiniCore is for children ages 4 to 6 and combines 30 minutes of group learning with 30 minutes of private instruction. It focuses on rhythm, basic skills, and confidence-building in a friendly, supportive environment.

The Core Program is structured in stages:

Primer: For beginners, covering foundational skills.

Endeavour: For intermediate students, focusing on AMEB and Rock School exam preparation.

Mastery: For advanced students ready for high-level theory, technique, and performance training.
