Teachers from Chatswood and Neutral Bay to Hornsby and Epping, with a strong mix of studio, home and online options.
Teachers From the Harbour to Hornsby
For this page, the North Shore covers the Lower and Upper North Shore, Hornsby and the Epping and Ryde area. More than 25 teachers are based here, in suburbs including Hornsby, Epping, Chatswood, Beecroft, Cremorne, Crows Nest, Gordon, Kurraba Point, Lindfield and Marsfield.
Chatswood and Epping are well connected by train and Metro, and Hornsby is a major station on the northern line, so studio lessons are straightforward to reach. If you would rather stay home, 13 of our North Shore teachers say in their profiles that they travel to students, including Vahid, Andres, Angela, Jun and Ananya.
Strong Credentials in the North Shore
The North Shore bench includes several teachers currently studying at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, such as Angela (classical voice), Jarrett (trombone) and Joey (piano, and a Vasanta Scholar). Others bring decades of experience: Vahid has been teaching since 2001, and Craig has 30 years of playing and teaching drums.
Rates run from $50 to $150 an hour, and 19 of the 28 teachers charge less than $100.
Studio, Home and Specialist Options
Rick runs his own studio in Hornsby, Sydney Guitar & World Percussion, and teaches 13 instruments. Others, like Roger in Lindfield, teach from home. We also have saxophone lessons on the North Shore and euphonium lessons in Epping on their own pages.
