Glenn Bonney’s Music School - Mount Gambier- South Australia

Glenn Bonney’s Music School was established in 1988 by Mr. Glenn Bonney.
Glenn has been playing for over 37 years.

The School offers tuition suitable for beginners, experienced players and budding professionals.
Develop talent quickly and enjoyably learning Electone (Organ) Portable Keyboard using the Yamaha Electone Course and for Piano using the Alfred's Basic Piano Course, age is of no concern, students ages range from the youngest being 3½ to the oldest (although she won't admit it ) at 87.

Drum lessons are aslo available.

Glenn is Yamaha trained and has achieved Yamaha Accreditation for Electone/Organ, he is a member of the Yamaha Electone Teachers Association and is qualified to teach steps 1 to 6 (the complete course) of the Australian Electone Course. Glenn also holds Practical Performance Certificates for Piano.

He is also a registered teacher with ANZCA (Australian and New Zealand Cultural Arts).

Starting a Course
Starting a course is easy and inexpensive. No previous experience is necessary, the school is equipped with the latest models.

The courses are designed to provide the student with a thorough grounding in the fundamental skills of music and performance technique, the student also benefits from an introduction to a general knowledge of music and the different styles of music including the terms and signs used in music.

3 different musical streams are available for all instruments:
1. Classical only
2. Modern Only (pop/rock/jazz...)
3. A combination of both Classical and Modern

Lesson Times
Private (single student) lessons are for 30 minutes once a week.

Tuition Fees
Current fees are $20.00 for each 30 minute lesson (sorry no discounts for more than one student in the family or pensioner discounts)

Examinations
Examinations are conducted at the end of each year (depending on numbers), the exams may be taken for the following types:
Classical Piano, Modern Piano, Keyboard and Modern Organ.
The examinations are conducted by ANZCA (Australian and New Zealand Cultural Arts).
The reason I use ANZCA instead of AMEB for exams is because they offer a wider range of exam choices for the students, they are not stuck with mostly classical repertoire. The other reason is the staff at the ANZCA office are very helpful and friendly and are always contactable.
