At Monique’s Music, my mission is to connect with adult learners who have always dreamed of playing music and help them finally begin that journey.
​
Many adults have long wanted to learn an instrument but never had the opportunity. Monique’s Music was created to support those learners by offering online flute, saxophone, and clarinet lessons designed specifically for adults.
​
I love teaching mature-aged students because they bring genuine curiosity and commitment to each lesson. Every student arrives with different goals — some prefer structured learning, while others enjoy a more relaxed, exploratory approach. Some want to focus on technique or music theory, while others simply want the skills to play music they enjoy.
​
Understanding what motivates each student and tailoring lessons to suit their learning style is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
​
With over 10 years of teaching experience, I have worked with students of all ages and abilities in both classroom and online settings. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Performance, a Graduate Diploma in Teaching and Learning, and a Graduate Certificate in Education.
​
Although I’m based in Brisbane, the flexibility of online lessons means I teach students from across the globe. My students currently join lessons from Australia, the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and Europe.
​
Whether you’re starting from the very beginning or looking to build on existing skills, I would love to help you develop your musical abilities and enjoy the process of learning.

Flute lessons, saxophone lessons and clarinet lessons for the mature-aged student. I offer 30, 45 and 60-minute music lessons over Google Meet so that you can learn anywhere at anytime, all you need is a device and internet connection!

I've designed my courses with the grey nomad in mind. I can teach you the skills to play the music you love on flute, saxophone and clarinet from the convenience of your own home, living room or even caravan or boat!

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.
