Our Music School

Dynamic Rhythms Music Academy (DRMA) is a purpose built facility located in George Hunter Drive, Narellan. DRMA has been in operation for 11 years and is a family owned and run business (formerly known as Forte School of Music Macarthur).

All of our teachers are ultimate professionals and have studied music for many years. Most of our teachers have completed advanced AMEB exams and /or tertiary levels of education such as a Bachelor in Music or Creative Arts.

Private lessons are tailored to meet the needs and the age of the children and class lessons follow a structured curriculum designed to be appropriate for each age group.

Lessons are run in modern, well equipped, air conditioned studios. Each classroom is insulated with acoustic batts and sound checked gyprock and we have a comfortable waiting room area with snacks and drinks available as well as limited off street parking and convenient street parking.
