Music lessons for kids on the Northern Beaches are mostly run by small studios and music schools. We have ten listed, from Narrabeen and Dee Why to Brookvale, Allambie and Warriewood, and between them they cover piano, drums, singing and general tuition. No music events or one-off classes are listed right now, so this guide is about the studios you can contact to ask about a place.
Where the music studios are
Dee Why has the most, with Forte School of Music, Starfish Vocal Studio and SingNow Studio. Narrabeen has ipop and Narrabeen Music School. Allambie has AJW Drum Academy and Berryjam Music. Evergreen Music is in Brookvale, Keyboard Club (private piano tuition) is in Warriewood, and Free Your Voice Studios is in Seaview Rise Estate.
The clubs listed below this guide have the full details and a way to reach each one.
What each kind of studio offers
The names give a hint about the focus, but not about ages or levels, so treat this as a starting point.
- Singing: Starfish Vocal Studio, SingNow Studio and Free Your Voice Studios.
- Drums: AJW Drum Academy.
- Piano: Keyboard Club offers private piano tuition.
- Music schools and studios with a wider focus: Narrabeen Music School, Forte School of Music, Evergreen Music, Berryjam Music and ipop.
If your child has not settled on an instrument yet, ask a studio whether it offers a trial or taster before you commit to a term.
Questions to ask before you book
- What ages and levels does the teacher take?
- Are lessons one on one or in a small group?
- Is there a trial lesson, and how do fees and term dates work?
- Do you need to bring or buy an instrument?
- Is there parking or public transport close by?
We do not have prices, timetables or age ranges for these studios, so please check each one directly.
Fitting lessons into your week
Choose a studio close to home or school so lessons are easy to keep up. If you live near Dee Why, having three studios in one suburb makes it simple to compare them in a single trip. Families around Narrabeen, Allambie or Brookvale also have a studio close by. Ask which weekday or weekend times are free, and whether the studio can hold a regular slot for your child.
Studios change their class times and places, so use each organiser's own page for the latest details. We are still adding music options across the Northern Beaches, so check back soon.
