Music lessons for St Ives NSW families
Music lessons for St Ives NSW children, teens and adults, at our two studios on the Pacific Highway in Turramurra. Piano, guitar, singing and more one on one, plus group classes from three years old.
A short drive from St Ives
ISM Turramurra sits about 4 km west of St Ives, on the Pacific Highway. From St Ives it's a short drive via Mona Vale Road, so a weekly lesson fits in after school or on the weekend. We've taught music in Turramurra since 1992, and many of our families come from St Ives.
We have two studios on the highway. Head office is at Level 1, 1319 to 1321 Pacific Highway, and Studio 2 is at Level 1, 1273 Pacific Highway, on the corner of Rohini Street. We'll tell you which one your lesson is at when you book.
Lessons and classes run seven days a week during school terms. We match each student with a teacher who suits them, and if the fit isn't right, we'll find another.

Very capable teachers and a very well organised music school. Would highly recommend - my son is loving his lessons at ISM Turramurra.
My daughter has been learning piano here and we are very happy with the experience. The teachers are patient and supportive, and the environment is encouraging. She really enjoys her lessons and has made great progress. Thank you to the whole team for your wonderful work.
My little one has been learning piano for almost two years. She enjoys the group lessons because they are engaging, fun, and a little bit competitive with games and activities.
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.
