What People Are Saying
I’ve been a part of Gina’s Academy Of Music for 8 years now, and it has been an absolute joy. It has been the most amazing environment for me to grow in and learn in, and every bit of teaching and knowledge I have gained from Gina and Rod has totally shaped me as an artist and a songwriter today. I’m so thankful for the opportunities they have given me, and for the way they have always believed in me!— AshaI have been a member of Gina Jeffreys Academy Of Music for years now and they have helped me grow in my performing and songwriting, to be grateful for everything in life, that success is contagious and how important it is to lift each other up. I have made so many life long friends, Gina being one of them and I am so lucky I get to be a part of Gina Jeffreys Academy Of Music.— Lucy Parle Gina Jeffreys Academy Of Music has been amazing. Over the past 4 years I have seen my daughter’s confidence in her singing grow and grow. The kindness and encouragement that the wonderful teachers have shown have made it one of the highlights of her week. They are truely inspiring!! With the help of her talented teachers she was even able to record her own music and release it ! We are grateful beyond words.— From a very happy Mum, Claudie HunterI’ve been going to Gina’s for over 5 years now and it’s where I built the fundamental steps for my song writing. Everything from the creative process to the structuring of a song started in these lessons. I learnt the rules of song writing, was then given the creative freedom to follow them and break them as I saw fit. If none of that mattered, it would still be a place where I go once a week to feel creatively fulfilled, nurtured and at home. — Boy SodaFollow Us @ginajeffreysacademyofmusic
