Learning Music Australia music programs fulfill SACSA requirements, and
can be tailored to the meet the requirements of individual
schools and community groups.
Factors such as group size, the age of students, and budget determines
the final structure of all programs.
Students can access lessons at a cost of less than $5.00 per week!
We can design school funded courses, user-pay, or a combination of
both, and can show you how to generate an ongoing music budget from
your new L.M.A music program!
L.M.A courses serve as great stepping-stones for students wishing to be
involved in the modern music industry, or those that plan to study
V.E.T music courses at High School.

Teacher Training
All LMA music instructors are trained ‘in-house’ by Learning Music Australia, and are accountable to the stringent guidelines that are set by L.M.A.
We provide all music instructors with ongoing training and mentoring, and continue to deliver training courses to musicians and music educators in the community. Duty of Care - Policy and Information
Learning Music Australia is a private music teaching service, contracted to teach private music lessons in D.E.C.S and non-D.E.C.S Schools in S.A.
We also provide tuition at LMA ‘Training centre’s’.
As a private service provider, is it our legal and moral obligation take reasonable care against fore-seeable risk of injury to all students that are participating in official LMA programs.
All LMA staff are made aware of the D.E.C.S and Catholic School ‘Duty of Care’ Policies.
All staff understand the importance of the policies - as they are designed for their own safety and for the safety of music course participants.
Terminology -
Reasonable Care – the care that a reasonable person would exercise under the circumstances; the standard for determining legal duty.
Foreseeable Risk - Foreseeable risk is the anticipated danger expected by a person of reasonable senses, based on his knowledge, experience or assumptions, as the result, outcome of an action.
Identify risks: any reasonably likely harmful effects of your actions and inactions. (The law calls this reasonable foresee ability). This is not the ability to 'see into the future', but using your skills, knowledge and experience.
If you identify a reasonably likely risk of harm, you must take reasonable care in
response - perfect care is not required! The principle of reasonable
care recognises that you have limited resources and limited ability to
protect people from harm.
