Est. 2008 in Brunswick East

Eighteen years in Brunswick. Now, one-on-one in Seddon.

Lygon Music School started on Lygon Street in East Brunswick back in 2008, and spent eighteen years as part of the neighbourhood music culture Brunswick is known for.

Lygon Music School is based in a studio in Seddon, where every lesson — from a first-timer's guitar basics to advanced production work in Logic Pro — is taught personally by Matthew. The same hands-on teaching that built the original school, brought to Seddon.

Few teachers bring a Conservatorium education, a composition degree, study under a player of Sebastian Jorgensen's calibre, and over a thousand live shows to the same lesson. Hundreds of students have been prepared for AMEB and VCE exams along the way — real structure behind the real stage experience, for students aged eight through adult, complete beginner through advanced.

Lessons run online and in person at the studio at 1 Bell Street, Seddon — a space distinctive enough that House & Garden asked to photograph it.
