Bio
Southside Music Centre started when Kire Stefanovski, a musician with over 30 years of playing, teaching, and performing, decided that Sydney’s young people needed more hands-on experience of music in their lives.
Kire teamed up with like-minded professionals and created an environment where people of all ages who live and dream music can share their passion and learn from each other.
Teaching Info
At Southside Music Centre we teach our students how to read and play music, sing, and perform. Whatever dreams they have, we start them off on the right track.
Our experienced coaches deliver well-planned individual lessons so that everyone learns at the right level and speed for them.
Although we keep it structured, there are always lots of opportunities for kids to hang out together, and even the odd jamming session! There are friends to be made, bands to join, and new things to learn at every turn.
In other words, we’re creating an atmosphere of passion and learning, achievement and opportunity, at Southside Music Centre. We say it’s all about the music, but to the kids and adults who come here, it’s sometimes more than that.
Whatever they get out of it; to learn new skills, get more from music, make new friends or just live life to the fullest, that’s what Southside Music Centre is all about.
We’re the Southside Music team and we live to play music. Now
we want to pass our passion onto you. Meet our music gurus and talented coaches!
