BerryJam Music was created from a vision and passion to equip, educate and inspire children through music to sing, be creative, write and perform together. BerryJam Music provides kids the opportunity to write their own music, perform regularly and to be mentored through their journey.

Our team of qualified and caring educators aim to nourish, enrich and inspire young, creative minds through encouragement, positivity and to always ensure that our lessons are fun, practical and educational. Dedicating yourself to a musical instrument discipline or vocal studies is an investment of time, practice, repetition and patience. Children who play a musical instrument are more likely to excel in all their academic studies, work better collegially and enhance their critical and cognitive thinking skills.

Throughout our curriculum, our team establish achievable and relative goals, as the child develops through their instrument. We strive to ensure they recognise a sense of achievement, development and pride in the work, technique and learning. Encompassing our lessons is not only practical but a strong aspect of our classes involve theory and performance technique, ensuring each student is reaching their full potential.
