  • "My son learns both Cornet and Piano with the Auralis Music Academy. Annabelle has been his dedicated teacher, carefully nurturing his development as a beginner. She is patient, communicates well and uses effective methods that help him translate music theory into practical skill without pressure. The Academy has been the stepping stone to the music world for him; he is now part of a group band dynamic through the Auxiliary Brass band, which Annabelle facilitates, a welcoming, multi-generational group. A big step, made easy thanks to the Academy. I highly recommend the Academy to any parent who would like to see their child nurtured and developed musically!"

  • "Annabelle is a knowledgeable, caring and patient teacher, who communicates the fundamentals of music and technique clearly to her students. The clarity and pace of her lessons ensures engagement and I have witnessed the rapid rate at which students progress on their instruments under her tutelage. Annabelle is a competent teacher in single or small group settings, as well as being able to quietly command the attention of a room of students in a concert band setting. She is obviously passionate about music and music education, which she genuinely instils in her students."

  • “My son Jakeem had trumpet lessons from Annabelle Stewart for 12 months and has grown tremendously, especially with his confidence in playing on stage. He is now a member of the Tauranga Auxiliary Brass Band where Annabelle is the bands conductor. As a parent I can see all the effort Annabelle puts in to make the band a success. I would certainly recommend Annabelle”

  • “I hadn't picked up an instrument in over 20 years, but with Annabelle's excellent instruction I was able to reach my goal of joining the local brass band within a matter of months of starting lessons. I would happily recommend Annabelle to anyone wanting to learn a brass instrument or further their skills. Her lessons are fun and motivational, and she is great at choosing material and creating lesson plans that suit your individual needs and goals.”
