Areas we teach
Jervis Bay School of Music runs lessons from one studio, at the Bay and Basin Uniting Church, 7 Meriton Street, St Georges Basin. Families come to us from right around the Basin and Jervis Bay, and online lessons are there for anyone further away.
Where our students come from
Drive times are from the middle of each suburb to the church, and are approximate.
St Georges Basin
Home base
Our studio is at the Bay and Basin Uniting Church on Meriton Street, so lessons are only a few minutes from most of St Georges Basin. Easy to fit in straight after school.
Sanctuary Point
About 5 to 10 minutes
Next door to St Georges Basin, so it's a quick trip for an after-school lesson. Lessons start from 3 pm on weekdays.
Basin View
About 5 to 10 minutes
A short drive to the church. Handy for families who want a regular weekly time that fits around school and work.
Old Erowal Bay
About 10 minutes
An easy drive to the studio. Siblings can often be booked back to back, so it's one trip for the whole family.
Erowal Bay
About 15 minutes
Around a quarter of an hour by car. Tell us when you can get there and we'll find a lesson time that works.
Wrights Beach
About 15 to 20 minutes
Close enough for a weekly lesson. Later afternoon times suit families coming from work.
Vincentia
About 12 to 15 minutes
A short drive for Vincentia families. Choose piano, guitar, bass, drums or singing, all at the one studio.
Huskisson
About 15 to 20 minutes
A straightforward drive from Huskisson. Weekday lessons run from 3 pm into the early evening, so there's time to get there after school.
Sussex Inlet
About 25 to 30 minutes
A longer drive, so many families pair the trip with other errands. Online lessons are available if a weekly trip is too much.
Nowra
About 25 to 30 minutes
About half an hour from the middle of Nowra. Online lessons are another option for busy weeks or exam time.
What you can learn
Every instrument is taught one-on-one at the same studio, so brothers and sisters can learn different instruments at the same time.

Yes, there's a car park at the church.
We live in Nowra or Sussex Inlet. Is it worth the drive?
It's about 25 to 30 minutes each way. Some families book siblings back to back so it's one trip, and online lessons are another option.
