The Australian Music School for Autism (AMSA) is Australia’s first and only creative institute entirely dedicated to specialised music programs created for uniquely gifted children and adults in the spectrum and beyond.
Established in 2004, Autism Music Australia and the AMSA has over 20 years of experience teaching students the tools and knowledge that can assist and inspire them to begin playing, creating, and enjoying music and their instruments.
Every day, we see first-hand how playing music provides a sense of peace, focus and presence, often allowing children to calm their minds whilst completely immersing themselves in the moment without distraction.

Join us in 2024 and discover the power of music for your child
One of the most profound aspects of music is its ability to connect people in ways that words often cannot.
When you engage in musical activities together, whether through playful rhythms and songs or just learning or playing together, you’re having fun and building a strong foundation of trust through creativity and emotional connection.
Playing music together isn’t just fun—it’s a way to create lasting memories and strengthen the relationship with your child.
Whether you’re musically inclined or not, our courses are shaped so you can easily get involved, learn, and have fun with your child with no previous experience in music necessary.
A Unique Colour Coded System
Our revolutionary colour-coded system adds a whole new dimension to music learning and gives kids a powerful advantage as they begin their music learning journey.
Think of our colour-coded system as training wheels on a bike. Without them, many people would never learn to ride.
This colour-coded system provides a whole new visual trigger designed to speed up the development of the fine motor skills necessary to play music easily and correctly on their chosen instrument.
Every Achievement is Celebrated
We believe every achievement is a HUGE SUCCESS to be CELEBRATED!
Although learning music is what it is all about, for us, it comes second to making your child feel like they are able to achieve anything in this life.
It could be the simpler things like hitting their hand on a drum for two beats in a row or being able to confidently find the middle C on a piano.
Or more tricky things, such as playing Fur Elise by Beethoven, the guitar solo of Sweet Child o Mine, or the latest Tailor Swift or Ed Sheeran song, it is all celebrated equally by our teachers.
We consistently focus on building exceptional confidence and having stupid amounts of fun throughout our time together.
Breaking Definitions Whilst Providing Positive Affirmations
Once you join any of our programs, you will no longer hear definitions such as Autistic, ADHD, ADD, Dyslexic, etc.
You will hear phrases such as uniquely gifted, incredibly talented, you are such a quick learner, you did that so quickly, I love how you interpreted that and did it in your way, etc.
All delivered with excitement, positivity, presence and confidence, creating a special, safe, trustable space that is fun and exciting.
Here, anything is possible.
