Music lessons for Nowra families
Nowra families have driven to Jervis Bay School of Music since we opened in 2016, and the trip is about 25 minutes down the Princes Highway and along The Wool Road to the Bay and Basin Uniting Church at 7 Meriton Street, St Georges Basin. Here is why they make it, and how to make it work for your week.
One studio, four teachers, five instruments
Nowra has a handful of private teachers working from home, mostly one instrument each. We put piano, guitar, bass, drums and singing under one roof, so a family with a drummer and a pianist does one trip instead of two. Piano is with Katie or Morgan, guitar and bass with Morgan, drums with Antony on a full kit, and singing with Anika.
Make the drive count
Book siblings back to back and the drive is one trip for two lessons. Choose 45 minutes instead of 30 if your child is past the beginner stage; the longer lesson costs less per minute and gets more done. Lessons run weekday afternoons and early evenings, and later slots leave time to get there after school pick-up in Nowra. If a week falls apart, your teacher can run the lesson online at the usual time.
Prices that stay the same every month
A 30-minute weekly lesson is $45.10, billed as $164 a month over 11 payments. January is not billed. 45 minutes is $246 a month and 60 minutes is $328. Lessons run in the four NSW school terms, 40 lessons a year, with a short break between each. There is no lock-in contract; give us one month's notice to stop. Join mid-term and you pay only for the lessons left. NSW Creative Kids vouchers are accepted.
Term 1 2027 starts Wednesday 3 February
The best times go to families who book before term starts. Lessons then run to Friday 9 April, with Term 2 from Thursday 29 April.
Start with a free trial lesson
Your first lesson is free with any of our teachers: meet them, see the studio and play something before you leave. If it's a fit, we hold your time for the rest of the term.
Common questions from Nowra families
Is 25 minutes too far for a weekly lesson?
Most families say no once they have a regular time. Pair the lesson with shopping at Sanctuary Point or Vincentia, or book siblings together so it's one trip.
Do you have anything closer to Nowra?
All lessons are at St Georges Basin. We don't teach in homes, but online lessons are available for weeks you can't travel.
Can my child try more than one instrument?
Yes. The free trial is with each teacher, so a child torn between drums and guitar can try both before choosing.
