Music Lessons in the Sutherland Shire
A smaller bench of teachers than the city, but strong ones, with St George, travelling and online options to fill the gaps.
Music Lessons in the Sutherland Shire
The Shire is a community of its own, south of the Georges River. Our Shire bench is smaller than in some parts of Sydney: four teachers are based in Miranda, Caringbah and Loftus. We say so up front, because it shapes how we help you.
When you enquire, we look first for a teacher in or near your suburb. We also look at neighbouring St George, at teachers who travel, and at online options, so you are not limited to the people listed below.
Who Teaches in the Shire
The four teachers listed here cover singing and guitar, accordion and piano, violin, and piano with a very experienced teacher. Drake is from the Sutherland Shire and is studying at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Paolo came to Australia from Italy in 2012 and teaches accordion, piano, composition and theory. Margaret has over 45 years of teaching experience and a teaching method published in her ‘Contemporary’ series.
Rates here run from $90 to $180 an hour.
If Your Instrument Is Not Listed
Tell us what you want to learn and where you are. We often find that the best match for the Shire is a teacher a suburb or two away, a teacher who travels, or an online teacher. The train line from Sutherland to Cronulla links much of the Shire to the broader network, so a teacher in St George may also be within reach.
