Welcome
Tin Can Music
Greetings from all of us here at Tin Can Music. We are a group of people who are passionate about music. We write and perform, we teach, and we
encourage others to love music as much as we do.
Our music school takes students of all ages and abilities – the youngest was four and the oldest so far was 86 years old. We teach from beginners to advanced students, offering individual and group lessons, ensembles and band training.
Our senior music teacher is Michael Engberg who has years of experience teaching and playing all over the world. He has been teaching here in Hervey Bay for the last five years and we are proud to have him join our team.
Our Teaching tab will show you what’s available and we hope you’ll be joining us soon.
“Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.”
