Hey — I’m based in Ipswich and moved here about a year ago, really enjoying it so far.
I’m a professional musician and have been teaching for 20+ years across schools, private lessons and different settings. Recently I’ve had a few local families reach out asking if I’d take their kids on again for music lessons.

A common theme I’ve noticed is that a lot of kids seem to lose interest pretty quickly if the learning style doesn’t suit them, even if they were keen at the start.

Just curious — is that something other parents here have experienced?

Also wondering how people feel about private music lessons in general at the moment.
I’ve opened up a few afternoon/evening spots locally, but just trying to get a sense of what people are seeing.

Thanks 🙏🏼

Just curious if anyone knows anything about fake DDJ’s?
I’ve been chasing an FLX10, and I’m seeing a bunch on the second hand market very very cheap. $1200-$1400 AUD. But they’re all in remote places, and they feel like a scam.

I see other FLX10’s available in second hand market for about $2000 AUD, and brand new they’re about $2700 AUD.

I’ve noticed there are cheap DDJ’s available from Alibaba and similar sites, so I’m thinking there’s a bunch of fake controllers out there.

Anyone know anything about this?
Had any experience?
Any info is much appreciated.

🙏🏼 thanks
