Playing Guitar_edited.jpg

We encourage students to engage with music as more than a set of skills to be mastered

After all, music making isn't just something we do or perform. 

Music making is something we live!

​

Let's think of music making as a lifelong companion - 

Whether you're a child learning to play the piano,

an adult picking up a guitar for the first time,

or someone who just wants to sing in the shower,

Music making can be something you continue to explore, enjoy, and learn from

throughout your entire life. 

​

We see music making as more than the notes on a page

or the techniques we master

It's about how music enriches our lives.

How it connects us to ourselves

and to others

And how it serves as a tool

for personal awareness and wellbeing.

A word from the Director of PJ Music Studios

Pamela Smirl

I love what I do and it makes me so happy to be able to share my passion with others. Since starting as a professional Music Teacher over 30  years ago, I’ve been privileged to see so many students discover their natural skills and abilities and reach results they never dreamed were possible. If that sounds like something you’d like to explore, get in touch.
