Mae Collard School of Music

Hi all,
Mae’s sister here. I’m sure you’re aware Mae would love to be communicating with you all directly if she were well enough. Mae poured her heart and soul into the Mae Collard school of Music and she absolutely loved the community that swelled around the school. She absolutely appreciates all of you and is grateful for being part of something so special over the last 7 years.

We know that Mae will be back in the world of music as soon as she can. She is a brave woman and I am sure she is feeling all your well wishes. I know she wishes you all so much joy in your next adventures into music in your own lives. In the meantime, if you feel like sending her a private message or short video message through the music school we will make sure she receives it.

Mae’s family wishes you all joy filled music in your lives going forward, carrying that little bit of magic from this wonderful community wherever you go.

For the love of music 🎶

Please be advised that the Mae Collard School of Music has closed for the foreseeable future.

Mae is seriously unwell and not able to operate the business at this point in time and would wish to thank the music school community - students, parents, teachers, friends and associated businesses for all the support and well wishes.

Please note that the Mae Collard School of Music will not be able to respond to any queries at the moment.
