At Monique’s Music, my goal is to help flute, saxophone and clarinet students and musicians enjoy making music at every stage of their journey.
I offer online flute, clarinet and saxophone lessons, woodwind instrument servicing in North Brisbane, and an online shop stocked with products and resources I personally use and recommend.
Learn to Play - Online Lessons
I especially love teaching mature-aged students who have always wanted to play an instrument, or who are returning to music after years away.
Lessons are tailored to your goals and interests, whether you’re learning for fun, preparing for an exam, improving your technique, or simply wanting to play the music you enjoy.
All lessons are online via Google Meet, so you can learn from anywhere in Australia or around the world.
Woodwind Servicing
I provide woodwind instrument servicing in North Brisbane for flute, clarinet, alto saxophone and tenor saxophone.
From routine servicing and adjustments to repairs, I can help keep your instrument playing at its best.
The Woodwind Shop
My online shop stocks reeds, cleaning cloths and swabs, reed guards and accessories, sheet music, downloadable resources and pre-loved or second-hand woodwind instruments and music.
I only stock products that I genuinely use or recommend to my own students and customers, with Australia-wide postage available.
You’ll also find pre-loved and second-hand items looking for their new home.
A Little About Me
I’ve been teaching music for over 15 years and hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Performance, a Graduate Diploma in Teaching and Learning, and a Graduate Certificate in Education.
As both a music teacher and woodwind technician, I love being able to support musicians not just with their playing, but with the instruments and products that help them along the way.
Whether you're learning your first notes, returning to music, or simply looking for your next box of reeds, you're very welcome at Monique’s Music.
I like the way Monique allows me to essentially guide the content of a lesson. I've felt very comfortable with her and she's wonderful at recognising where I'm at and guiding me steadily towards my goals. I am loving my online lessons with Monique - she is very sweet, very encouraging and forgiving (!) and works to a steady pace.
My goal with Monique is to learn to play blues, jazz and improvisation. This is a completely new skill set for me. Monique’s approach is logical and clear. I had some trepidation about taking lessons online. However, remote lessons are actually just fine. I experience very little difference between in-person and online classes. Monique has helped me learn an incredible amount in the 3 months we’ve worked together. She has helped me improve my tone and is pointing out flaws no other teachers mentioned. If I had teachers like Monique when I was younger, I believe I’d have been a better flautist with a more well-rounded knowledge of music.
I've been enjoying Zoom lessons with Monique for just over one year now. I learned clarinet for years at school, then last year picked it up again after a 30 year break. I am really happy that I found Monique to support me on this journey. I work full time and have a family so finding time to play the clarinet is sometimes tricky. Monique's weekly lessons motivate me to find the time for clarinet practice. I always come away from our half hour lesson feeling relaxed and positive. I'd recommend Monique's lessons to any adult learner who wants to rediscover music in their life.
