Guitar lessons in Turramurra
One on one guitar lessons in Turramurra for kids, teens and adults, on acoustic or electric. Students play chords and real songs early, with the reading and technique that keep them improving.
What a guitar lesson looks like
ISM teaches from two studios in Turramurra: head office at Level 1, 1319 to 1321 Pacific Highway, and Studio 2 at Level 1, 1273 Pacific Highway, corner of Rohini Street. We'll confirm which one your guitar lessons are at when you book.
Your guitar teachers
Our guitar teachers are performing musicians with backgrounds in jazz, rock, pop and songwriting. We'll match you with one who suits the student's age and the music they want to play.
Before your first lesson
A few things parents and adult beginners usually ask about before starting guitar.
Acoustic or electric?
Either is a good place to start. An acoustic guitar is simple to pick up and play anywhere. An electric has lighter strings that are kinder to young fingers, but needs an amp. Tell us what music the student loves and the teacher will help you choose.
What to bring
Bring the guitar you practise on, so the teacher can check its tuning and setup. Add a few picks, a folder for the music you're given and a tuner app on your phone. Electric players can check with us when they book whether to bring a lead and amp.
Adult beginners
Adults are welcome, whether you're starting from scratch or picking up a guitar you haven't touched since school. Lessons go at your pace and are built around the songs you've always wanted to play.

My kid (year 1) started a guitar class with Chris this Term 3, and even though it was his first time trying music, he’s absolutely loving it. Chris has a gentle, intuitive way of teaching that helps beginners feel confident and excited to learn. The lessons are fun, relaxed, and paced just right. My son looks forward to every class, highly recommend!
Best Sydney music school for children without doubt. We have an amazing teacher, with personal approach to each of the students during group classes, as well as running the group with excellent dynamics and attention to everyone. Great program, carefully created to keep kids interested and progress week by week. Sincere thanks for such a professional environment.
ISM Turramurra is a wonderful place for children to learn piano. The lesson structure is very well designed, and the teaching approach is both engaging and effective. Teacher Rosie are patient, friendly, and encouraging, which makes my son feel comfortable and motivated to learn. We have had a very positive experience here and would highly recommend ISM Turramurra to other families.
