A music teacher accused of "rubbing his groin" on his six-year-year old student "every week for several months" will remain behind bars after being charged with 20 counts of indecent assault.

Police allege the 21-year-old man committed the assaults during private violin lessons at an after school care centre in Sydney's north-west.

Detectives say the planned assaults were reported earlier this month after the victim's parents confronted the 21-year-old at a shopping centre

The man was arrested yesterday and charged with 20 counts of indecent assault to a person under 16-years-old.

His employment has been suspended.

The 21-year-old appeared before Parramatta Bail Court this morning where he was denied bail.

He is expected to reappear before Burwood Local Court next month.

The investigation is continuing.
