How the lessons work:
Beginners start with absolutely no prior experience. We guide them through the essentials of piano playing with expert instruction, building a rock-solid foundation.
This usually takes the first 6-8 months.
↓
After they've mastered the basics, they progress on to playing a diverse repertoire of film songs.
This includes their favorites from Hollywood, or the Australian Film Industry.
In another 6-8 months, students are well-prepared to perform on stage or at gatherings.
This not only makes them confident, but also peaks their interest into the beautiful world of music.
↓
Proceeding ahead, they hone advanced playing techniques by studying sheet music and sitting for exams from Trinity College, London.
This is where they decide to specialise in the instrument of their choice (either keyboard or piano). And earn highly-valued globally recognized certifications.

Don't have an instrument? No worries.
We understand that investing in a brand new instrument can feel like a big commitment — especially when you're unsure whether your child will enjoy learning the keyboard or piano.
Here are some money-saving work arounds:
Rent from Yamaha Rentals Australia.
You can easily rent an instrument for your child directly through Yamaha Australia.
This option allows you to access a quality instrument without the need to pay the full price upfront or commit to long-term monthly installments.
Rentals start as low as A$30 per month, and Yamaha handles all repairs and servicing.If you need help selecting the right piano or keyboard model, book a free trial with us. Our training advisor will assist you in finding the perfect fit.
Please note that StarMelody does not take any commission on rentals.
You can rent directly from Yamaha’s official website, but we’re here to help you choose the ideal instrument model for your needs.
Attend our Trial Session from a Piano Practice Room.
Another option is to have your child attend our trial session at a nearby piano practice room.
These rooms typically cost around A$16 for an hour-long booking.
If your child enjoys our trial session and you believe piano or keyboard lessons are a good fit for them, you can then invest in a proper instrument or rent one from Yamaha.
Benefits
that go beyond music.
Better Mental Health.
Music has therapeutic effects and can be used to reduce stress and anxiety. Participating in music activities helps adolescents manage stress, leading to better mental health and overall well-being.
Backed by the research paper available on SpringerLink: The Value of Music Education for Child Development and Wellbeing in the Post COVID-19 Landscape.
Creativity & Innovation
Engaging in music encourages students to think outside the box. The more they experiment with different sounds, compositions, and songs, the stronger of a creative muscle they develop — broadly applicable to every aspect in their later life.
Backed by the research paper available on SpringerLink: Music in Schools: The Importance of Meaningful Relationships in Music Education.
Academic Achievement
Participation in school music programs has been correlated with higher academic performance. Research indicates that students involved in high-quality music training score higher on standardized tests compared to their non-musical peers.
Backed by the research paper available on SpringerLink: The impact of music on educational attainment
Life without playing music is inconceivable for me. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music... I get most joy in life out of music

Learning. Meets. Technology.
Imagine how fun learning could be if the school homework was not boring but similar to playing your favorite game.
We're changing that for music education.
By using cutting-edge tech apps like Simply Piano, Flowkey, and Skoove, we turn homework boredom into play and gamify the learning process for our students.
One thing is for sure: Your child will never hate or be bored with their music homework anymore.

Know about the Star Faculty.
The
Faculty
StarMelody began in 2002 as a small group of teachers, united by a simple goal: to make a living through music.
No big dreams of changing the world. No fancy plans. Just a whole lot of heart and hustle.
Over the years, we figured out that we’re not just giving music lessons. We’re sharing something way deeper—a lifeline for our students.
Kids today have it rough. Between social media, peer pressure, and a million distractions, it’s easy for them to feel lost or overwhelmed, sometimes without anyone to really talk to—not even friends or family.
However, music gives them a way out. It gives such students a voice to express what words can’t express, helping them find strength and solace in such difficult times.
True to our original goal, StarMelody still remains a close-knit team of passionate teachers.
We’re not a big, venture-backed startup, and neither do we aspire to be.
Quality control is super-important to us, and we rigorously maintain it within our faculty.
Being experts of online music education, we deliver the lessons so perfectly that they don't feel like the typical "boring online lessons".
and
growing…
Oh. And Meet Our Chief Happiness Officer
Stupid. Simple.
Communication.
Communication. Now incredibly simple.
No need to deal with a hefty sales team. No middle-man. No learning interruptions.
We understand how frustrating it can be as a parent to talk to a random sales agent every time you've doubts.
But not anymore. At StarMelody, you talk directly to the teacher who is teaching your child. No frustrating sales team.
This ensures the communication is one way — freeing you up from 99% of the communication hassle that comes with other online academies.

I have been a student of Prachi ma’am for 10 years and it consists of one of the best times I’ve had in my life. It’s not only music she teaches but much more than that and I’ve never come across a better teacher. I remember the times she used to come to our exams just because we would refuse to go in without her. She has an extraordinary set of skills and passes it on in a manner that is adaptable by every age group. I would highly recommend Star Melody for an excellent experience.

How the lessons work:
Beginners start with absolutely no prior experience. We guide them through the essentials of piano playing with expert instruction, building a rock-solid foundation.
This usually takes the first 6-8 months.
↓
After they've mastered the basics, they progress on to playing a diverse repertoire of film songs.
This includes their favorites from Hollywood, or the Australian Film Industry.
In another 6-8 months, students are well-prepared to perform on stage or at gatherings.
This not only makes them confident, but also peaks their interest into the beautiful world of music.
↓
Proceeding ahead, they hone advanced playing techniques by studying sheet music and sitting for exams from Trinity College, London.
This is where they decide to specialise in the instrument of their choice (either keyboard or piano). And earn highly-valued globally recognized certifications.

Benefits that go beyond music.
Better Mental Health.
Music has therapeutic effects and can be used to reduce stress and anxiety. Participating in music activities helps adolescents manage stress, leading to better mental health and overall well-being.
Backed by the research paper available on SpringerLink: The Value of Music Education for Child Development and Wellbeing in the Post COVID-19 Landscape.
Creativity & Innovation
Engaging in music encourages students to think outside the box. The more they experiment with different sounds, compositions, and songs, the stronger of a creative muscle they develop — broadly applicable to every aspect in their later life.
Backed by the research paper available on SpringerLink: Music in Schools: The Importance of Meaningful Relationships in Music Education.
Academic Achievement
Participation in school music programs has been correlated with higher academic performance. Research indicates that students involved in high-quality music training score higher on standardized tests compared to their non-musical peers.

Stupid. Simple. Communication.
No need to deal with a hefty sales team. No middle-man. No learning interruptions.
Just pure, consistent, quality education with a reliable learning environment. That's what you get.
We deeply understand how frustrating it can be as a parent to talk to a random sales agent every time you've any doubts.
But no more. When having any doubts, you talk to the teacher who's actively teaching your child.
This ensures that the communication is one way — freeing you up from 99% of the communication hassle that comes with other online academies.
Learning. Meets. Technology.
Imagine how fun learning could be if the homework was not boring but similar to playing your favourite game.
And that's what we do! Anyway — it's 2024. Everyone dreams to land on Mars in 10 years; but neglects something as basic as the boring school homework.
Although not for schools, we're changing that for music education.
Using cutting-edge tech apps like Simply Piano, Flowkey, and Skoove, we gamify the learning process for our students.
One thing is for sure. Your child will never hate the homework we give them.

Know about the Star Faculty.
StarMelody began in 2002 as a small group of teachers, united by a simple goal: to make a living through music.
No grand mission. No lofty ambitions. Just pure dedication and hustle.
Over the years, we’ve come to realize that what we offer isn’t just music lessons or mastery of instruments—it’s something much deeper. It’s a gift to our students.
In today’s world, navigating student life is tougher than ever. Social media, peer pressure, and countless distractions can leave students feeling overwhelmed, often with no one to confide in—not even friends or family.
But music provides an outlet. It gives such students a voice to express what words can’t capture, helping them find strength and solace in difficult times.
True to our original goal, StarMelody still remains a close-knit team of passionate teachers.
We’re not a big, venture-backed startup, and we don’t aspire to be.
Quality control is super-important to us, and we rigorously maintain it within our faculty.
Being experts of online teaching, we deliver the lessons so perfectly that they don't feel like the typical "boring online lessons".

Know about the Star Faculty.
StarMelody started as a small group of teachers in the year 2002 — wanting to make a living out of music.
No world-changing mission. No big dreams. Just pure hustle.
During all these years, we realized it's not just music or some instruments that we teach. It's truly a gift for students.
Navigating student life has become hard. From social media addiction to peer pressure and whatnot.
Many students face rough moments with no one to discuss them with, sometimes even their parents and friends.
However, what gives strength to these students is music. The ability to express what's in their mind through a musical piece works amazingly well.
Maintaining that same vision, StarMelody is still a group of a few teachers.
We are not like most funded startups, nor do we want to be. Quality control is super-important to us, and we rigorously maintain it within our faculty.
