Check out our awesome drum students in action ⬇
Our drum students not only learn how to whack the tubs in time, we get right down to the nuts & bolts of techniques so you learn how to play correctly, efficiently & without injury!
Whether you’re a beginner who doesn’t know the difference between a hi hat & a kick drum or an advanced player brushing up on your skills, we customise our drum lessons so you learn the correct techniques & theory while learning the music you want to learn!
All our drum tutors are professional, performing musicians and actually totally really cool, down to earth people. We make sure you’re learning in a relaxed & fun environment so you can gather all the tools you need to become that awesome double kick parra-diddling stick wielding maniac you were born to become!
Want to know the best part? We don’t have a cookie cutter approach to music education at our studio… We understand everyone is unique & learns in different ways so we work with you to get you achieving your music goals by customising the lessons just to you!
Wanna learn Hungarian gypsy jazz? Ok, lets do that. Not sure what inspires you? We’ll show you music & techniques that’ll get you more excited than when you made your first mixtape!
No matter how big or small your goals are; if you want to write & record your own original tunes, join a band, get some experience on the stage or just to learn for your own enjoyment, our aim is to get you to where you want to be with music!
Our holistic approach to learning drums & music includes
- learning music you love!
- learning the correct techniques
- learning how to improvise, create your own beats & fills & how to accompany other musicians!
- learn the theory behind songs in an easy to understand format
- heaps of performance opportunities!
- music industry workshops
- access to a state of the art recording studio
- all ages & abilities welcome (yes, we also teach adults)
Nice things people say about us 🙂

Thank you Sam and the team for the amazing work you do! My kids have had a few different teachers over the years, all of which have nurtured and encourage their skills and confidence in their craft and made them into the musicians they are today. Their periodic gigs and jam weeks encourage and develop skills in group performance and working with other people, promoting students to support each other, cheer each other on and have fun! Reynolds is not just a music school but an amazing music community!

I’ve been attending Reynolds & Co for over a year now and the experience has been nothing but positive. As an adult student, I was a bit nervous about starting lessons but the teachers have been so patient and supportive and helped me to be a lot more confident in my musical skills. The team have also been great in providing payment plans to suit my needs and organising makeup lessons when I can’t make it to one. Can’t recommend them more!
Teagan Holroyd
Reyonolds and Co are an outstanding place for anyone to develop their musical skills. The staff are incredible and the program provides the tuition to develop skills, as well as the opportunity to perfom with others at jam week and gig night. We are extremely grateful that our son gets access to such an amazing program and wonderful teachers. Keep up the great work guys!

My son has been going to Reynolds & Co for over three years for piano. The teachers are supportive, professional and genuinely love teaching. They tailor lessons to his interests and learning style, making music fun and inspiring rather than a chore. There’s a real sense of encouragement and care from the whole team, and the welcoming, creative environment has helped him grow not just musically but in confidence too. They also have the opportunity to play gigs at a local venue with fellow students which is the highlight of the year! A truely wonderful music school
Jacqueline Matthews
Wonderful studio! Teachers are amazing, real sense of community, so supportive and lots of opportunities for the kids. We’ve made many friends here and the kids love it. Thank you Reynolds!
Lucy Williamson
My son, Matthew, has been attending lessons at Reynolds & Co for a couple of years now, and the progress he’s made is incredible. The team creates such a professional, caring and – most importantly – fun learning environment that he genuinely looks forward to every lesson. The highlight of each term is The Exchange gig, where Matthew gets to showcase his passion on a real live music stage in front of his teachers, family and fellow students. It’s an amazing opportunity that has boosted his confidence and performance skills so much. A huge thank you to Sam and the… read more

Excellent teachers and great set up. Really enjoy the chance for the kids to play each term as part of a band and for the opportunity to play gigs.

My daughter has been getting guitar lessons for 2 years at Reynolds & Co. I couldn’t recommend them any higher, the staff are all lovely, there’s plenty of performance opportunities & the students get to play with other musicians at their awesome jam weeks!

My three of my children have been attending Reynolds and Co since Term 3 2022. They learn multi instruments across different teachers, who are all amazing in their own ways. Sam is a chill, layback biddings owner who runs a wonderful small business, and nothing is ever to hard when needing to accommodate all my children being their at the same time. To Sam, reception staff, and all the music teachers- my children would not know their instruments and have a love and appreciation for music, if it wasn’t for you all. Reynolds and co… read more

I have been super impressed by the team at Reynolds & Co. My daughter has been an enthusiastic student and performer over her time there, sadly coming to an end as she is moving away soon for University. All the teachers and staff have been awesome, so enthusiastic and clearly genuinely enjoying their job. The end of term concerts have been impressive, without fail. Highly recommended.

We want to thank Sam and all the Reynolds & co music teachers for another superb and successful gig night at the pub! (on top of their ongoing dedication throughout the years we have had lessons)
The highlight of our year is enjoying a fun night out to cheer, clap, tap our feet along and watch the amazing students perform and grow in skills and confidence. It is a beautiful opportunity to play amongst such a positive crowd of family and friends.
We have experienced such a welcoming, friendly, inclusive atmosphere and also flexibilty for both our children over the years, in… read more

Cannot rate Reynolds and Co more highly. My daughter has been attending classes for over 3 years and enjoys every moment. Her confidence has grown significantly since being a student here and it is such a welcoming community to be a part of. If you’re looking for an amazing learning experience for your children, go to Reynolds and Co!

We have budding guitarist and drummer both learning at Reynolds & co and the team are amazing! The opportunities throughout the year to perform with other students offers a wonderfully unique experience that expands and challenges their skills. We will definitely be reenrolling next year!
Hannah Smith
I can’t recommend Reynolds & Co highly enough. They offer free lesson first up to see if it’s the place for you. They teach you the music that you want to learn and their teachers are the best. It’s such an inspiring place to be and I look forward to my lessons every week and they will literally teach anyone

Keiran Williamson
I have found Reynolds to be very professional and accommodating. My son really enjoys his drum lessons and we as a family love the performances showcasing the amazing talent of their students. The teachers are very welcoming, positive and encouraging.
Leah Taylor
My children started at Reynolds a year ago and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. The teachers are super engaging, talented and they make learning fun. They listen and care about what music my kids want to play. They build confidence by providing the opportunity to perform regularly with other students and teachers. And this in turn creates a beautiful vibe. They also teach adults, and I know many parents have signed up to classes after they’ve seen how much their kids love it!

My daughter has only been @ Reynolds & Co for a year however she enjoys every bit of it. We love how they have multiple gigs a year and collaborate with other students on stage. The end of term jam weeks have been fun too. From the admin, to the teachers and the owner, they are all very kind, friendly and respectful. Highly recommend!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Lesley Ahmung
I’ve had myself and my children enrolled at Reynolds & Co for the past 18 months and we absolutely love it! Lovely teachers who really care for their students. The end of term gigs are also so fun & such a highlight. Definitely recommend to anyone who is wanting to start learning an instrument or who would like to refine their skills.
Bree Ball
Thanks team for another fabulous year of musicianship and teaching – this is our 3rd year. You foster such a positive atmosphere and culture between staff and students, with strength based teaching, having students engaged and willing to learn from the first session onwards. We have seen so much growth in our daughter’s confidence levels to put herself out there and perform in front of an audience, which would not be possible if it wasn’t for the gigs. We love a Reynolds gig!! This year was outstanding – as per usual. What a wonderful way to showcase all the hard… read more
