ABOUT
JP MUSIC ACADEMY
Welcome to JP Music Academy, where the love for music meets the joy of learning. Let us take you on a journey of musical discovery and growth.
OUR FOUNDER
Hey there! I'm James Peden, the proud founder of JP Music Academy. I've always believed that every child has the potential to create beautiful music, and I started this academy to help kids and teens discover that magic in a fun, engaging way.
My passion for music and teaching has driven me to create a supportive environment where young musicians can truly thrive. Over the years, I've seen first hand how learning an instrument can boost confidence, spark creativity, and inspire lifelong passion. I love working with my students one-on-one, setting personalised goals, and watching them progress as they master their favourite tunes.
JP Music Academy Story
Where every note tells a story of
passion, growth, and creativity.
​
Founded by James Peden in 2017 and proudly based in Pakenham,
our academy is built on a simple belief:
​
Every aspiring musician deserves the chance to discover their potential and make music that truly resonates.
For over 7 years, James has dedicated himself to helping students set goals, stay motivated, and ultimately play the songs they've always dreamed of.
At our conveniently located studio on Village Way—right alongside Lakeside Square Shops—we create a nurturing environment where learning becomes an adventure.
Our unique 9-level courses are designed to excite and challenge students as they progress through our signature programs, such as the engaging Guitar Ninjas and the dynamic Keyboard Superstars.
In addition, we offer our vibrant Piano Fiesta Course and specialised AMEB Rock School Guitar and Bass Guitar programs to cater to a wide range of musical interests.
We also extend our passion for music beyond the studio with school programs across Pakenham, Bayles, Koo Wee Rup, Bunyip, and Longwarry, ensuring that the joy of music touches every corner of our community.
With over 100 students already part of our family, JP Music Academy isn’t just a music school—it’s a journey where every beat inspires a lifelong love of music.
