We’re Andrew and Patrick Wheeler, brothers raised in the Golden Plains. We both started music at age ten, and we trained through private lessons and annual music exams throughout primary and secondary school. That structure, clear goals, and consistent practice is the same approach we teach today.
Andrew began tutoring in 2015, working across the same local schools. In 2020 he started teaching independently, and Patrick joined in 2022 to form At-School Music. Patrick is a former accountant and brings a calm, balanced approach to lessons.
We keep things simple for families and schools: clear communication, straightforward term billing, and a strong focus on note reading. We value hard work and clear goals, and we aim for a calm, enjoyable lesson environment. Based in Geelong West, we aim to build the same respectful tutor-student relationship we valued growing up.
Lessons usually run between 9:00am and 3:30pm, with some 8:25am and 3:30pm slots also available.

We teach from a private studio at a residential address on weeknights from 4:00pm. Street parking is usually easy. Two tutors teach at the same time, which means siblings can book the same half-hour time slot with separate teachers.
Research shows that music education has a profoundly positive impact on children's social, emotional, and cognitive development. It helps them build social skills, enhances emotional intelligence, improves cognitive abilities, fosters creativity, and engages multiple senses in the learning process.
We also pursue AMEB exams for further education. These exams grant nationally recognised certificates that hold value for secondary school applications.
Lessons are 30 minutes weekly, billed by the school term. Payment plans are available.
