    Honestly love the place. Always a joy to go to, staff are always friendly, love a chat and are always willing to try and work stuff out in case of sudden circumstances. You feel apart of the group and you can be certain that everyone doesnt judge and are always willing to help you

    Southern Lights Vocal Academy offers a wonderful environment for people of all ages to learn and improve their musical skills, whether it's for personnel growth or for growth to enter the entertainment industry. The studio offers a non judgmental environment which encourages each student to excel. Various forms of music offered to try. Choirs, Rock Band, Kapop, Performance class, Drama, Guitar, Piano, HSC Theory and of course Private Solo Lessons. Every student is important to SLVA and no one is left out, which is a quality you rarely experience in any company. I can not recommend them highly enough.

  • I’ve been apart of Southern Lights Vocal Academy for 10 years. What I love about Southern Lights it’s not just a Vocal Academy it’s a family of people of all ages and personalities who have a passion for the arts and come to learn and experience it all. As a choir group member I’ve extended my family and with them I’ve shared fantastic moments and achievements over the years. With my private lessons I’ve learnt how to sing and play the piano more confidently with amazingly professional teachers. Southern Lights is my happy place.

    The Team at Southern lights is amazing. We have been with the studio for some years now and the growth that I have seen in my child and numerous other students is beautiful. It really fills my cup to be included in this community of caring, hardworking individuals, who take the time to celebrate everyone’s special gift.
