Why choose us
Experienced teachers
We’re highly experienced in our fields, but most importantly, we’re genuinely invested in seeing you grow and achieve (it’s what we love most!).
Engaging lessons you’ll look forward to each week
Your music lessons should be something you get to do, not something you have to do.
Lessons built around YOU, not a system
We take the time to get to know you so we can personalise your lessons around your interests and goals. This could mean structured learning, creative exploration, or a bit of both.
Opportunities to form bands
If you’re keen to be in a band, we can help team you up with like-minded musos and support you with band development along the way.
Performance opportunities
We give students the chance to perform as individuals, in groups, or with their band.
We've taught some talented students
What they say about us
“Throughout our 5 years at college, Matt Bodman put so much of his time, energy, and heart into helping us grow, not just as musicians, but as people. Every lesson, every bit of advice, every moment of encouragement pushed us to believe in ourselves a little more.”
Aisha and Bebe
Mount Maunganui
“Matt has been closely involved with Play It Strange for more than fifteen years, supporting and encouraging his students in all aspects of music education. He is incredibly passionate about helping his students and always goes above and beyond to help young musicians succeed.”
Stephanie Brown
CEO, Play It Strange Trust
“As a working songwriter, composer, performer and producer who didn’t study music at university, much of the expertise I draw from has its origins in Matt’s classroom. He was my mentor and the albums he recommended during that time continue to inspire me.”
Mark Perkins (Merk)
Composer, producer and instrumentalist
