About
A Dunedin music family business
Education, entertainment and artist development — run by people who still get on stage themselves.
The story
Established 1996. Teaching since 2012.
Bedford School of Music Entertainment Ltd grew out of decades of playing rooms across New Zealand — covers, originals, festivals, bars and private functions. The school side launched with Jae and Miriam in 2012, bringing the same gig sensibility into the lesson room.
Today the business runs three complementary arms: Bedford School of Music for lessons, Dancetopia for hire, and Future Sound for mentoring and events. One company. Clear pathways for students, artists and venues.
