ABOUT US


DW Music Tuition was founded by Daniel Wormell (BMus, Grad Dip Ed) a qualified teacher and guitarist with a wealth of performance experience. He along with his team of amazing teachers have been part of the Derinya community for over 15 years and work on providing the very best tuition opening up the possibilities of music to all students. Aside from his work at DW Music Tuition Daniel is also a classroom, guitar and ensemble leader at Cornish College in Bangholme.
We offer instrumental lessons to all ages and all abilities priding ourselves on our ability to spark the creativity in all students. Going it alone in the world of music can be tough so we can walk you through the basics of the instrument but also specialise in VCE Music preparing for SAC's, end of year exams and being a guide and support through the VCE Music curriculum.
Whatever style of music you play or want to learn we can teach you the fundamentals and key concepts needed to get there.
Equipment such as keyboards, guitars, drums PA systems and microphones available for use during lessons but students are more than welcome to bring in their own instruments along. Modern technology and IT are used such as smart boards and audio recording is available to give students real time feedback on their performances.
Lessons at Derinya Primary School after school Mon - Thursday afternoon and are available to students of all ages Primary, Secondary and Adults not just Derinya Primary students. All teachers have current Working With Children Checks' or Victorian Institute of Teaching registration.
Ultimately the focus of the lessons is learning music in a fun and engaging way where students play music they enjoy and want to practice at home.
