Music lessons for Hornsby families

Music lessons for Hornsby students at our two studios on the Pacific Highway in Turramurra. Piano, guitar, singing, violin, cello and double bass one on one, plus group classes for children from three.

Hornsby to Turramurra

Hornsby families reach our Turramurra studios with a short drive south down the Pacific Highway, about 6 km. Many of our families come from Hornsby, and we've taught music in Turramurra since 1992.

Students who travel on their own can take the North Shore line from Hornsby to Turramurra, four stops south. Studio 2 is on the corner of Rohini Street near the station, and head office is also on the Pacific Highway.

Strings, one on one

If your Hornsby student plays in a school orchestra, or wants to, our string teachers can help. Lessons are weekly and private, at 30, 45 or 60 minutes, and the teacher picks up from wherever the student is now.

ViolinPosture, bow hold and a clear sound come first, then reading, ensembles and AMEB exams for students who want them. Between them, our violin teachers hold AMusA and LMusA diplomas.
CelloOne on one cello lessons for children and adults, with teachers who trained at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
Double bassFor students heading into a school orchestra or jazz band, or adults who have always wanted to play.

And everything else

Not every Hornsby student wants strings. We also teach piano, guitar, singing, drums, bass guitar, clarinet, saxophone, trombone, composition, music theory and songwriting.

For younger children, our group classes begin with Beeboppers at three and move through the Junior, Primary, Intermediate and Extension Courses. Tell us your child's age through a group class enquiry and we'll suggest a class.

Questions from Hornsby

Is it easy to get to ISM from Hornsby?
Yes. Our studios are about 6 km south on the Pacific Highway in Turramurra, a short drive from Hornsby. By train, Turramurra is four stops from Hornsby on the North Shore line.
Does my child need their own violin or cello?
For practice at home, yes. If you haven't bought or hired one yet, the teacher can advise on the right size at the free trial, since children move up through smaller sizes as they grow.
Can adults from Hornsby take lessons?
Of course. Private lessons have no minimum age and no upper limit. We teach adults from complete beginners to returning players, and the teacher plans lessons around what you want to play.
Which days can we come?
We're open seven days during the NSW school terms. When you book a free trial, you'll see the times that are actually free this week. Term dates are on our term dates page.

My son take piano lessons at ISM Turramurra, and he love it. They enjoy the group classes, which are fun and engaging. The teachers do a great job of making the lessons enjoyable for the kids. It was a fantastic beginning to my child's piano journey. I highly recommend ISM Turramurra.

Highly recommend. Siebe is a first class legend and is an excellent piano and bass player. The establishment is really good with colour coded doors so you know where your lesson is. Everyone here is beautiful and nice.

My son has just started with ISM Turramurra and absolutely loves it. He cannot wait for his next lesson the following week. I can’t believe how much he’s learnt in just a few weeks
