Who We Teach?

We welcome beginners of all ages and of all backgrounds. It is our honour and privilege to teach such a wide range of students from all walks of life.

Most of our students start at Hollier Music Academy without ever playing an instrument before or, if they have, tinkered around a little at home. Our students tend to have busy lives and learn an instrument as an enjoyable hobby. We have designed Hollier Music Academy from the ground-up in such a way that students can learn an instrument without it interfering with their schedules.  

KIDS

We teach kids from around the age of 6 and above. As children face their own challenges while learning an instrument, we have designed a separate curriculum just for them.

TEENAGERS

We have taught many teenagers at Hollier Music Academy over the years. As teenagers tend have similar finger dexterity and musical interests as adults, we teach teenagers the adult curriculum.

ADULTS

Many of our students are busy workers who learn the guitar as an enjoyable hobby after work or on the weekends. Hollier Music Academy is perfect for adults as we have designed lessons from the ground up to accommodate busy schedules.

RETIREES

Many retirees learn an instrument to assist with keeping their mind sharp and healthy as they age. Others have always wanted to learn but never got around to it.
