Looking back at our posts from this time 2 years a Looking back at our posts from this time 2 years ago ๐Ÿคฏ Along with everyone else, in March 2020 we began the long journey through the pandemic. Everything changed so suddenly, and for the first time the future of PMA was uncertain. Looking back on posts like these, we are more grateful than ever for our fantastic community of students and teachers who rode the wave with us. Thanks to you all, we have bounced back stronger than ever and could not be more excited for the years ahead. We have so many big plans and cannot wait to share them with you all! A heartfelt thank you once again to our incredible students and our amazing team of tutors. We couldnโ€™t do it without you! ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ™ #portsmouth #musiclessons #onlinemusiclessons #learn #mondaymotivation

It's always amazing to see our students getting up on stage to share their hard work and talent, and it's safe to say they really outdid themselves this time around. Great singing and playing team, we can't wait to see you at the next one! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

In 2012, Dan enrolled at the Academy of Contemporary Music where he graduated with First-Class Honours in his degree!

In addition to his performing career, Dan loves to bring his skills to students across Surrey and Hampshire and he is an excellent example of the kind of working musician we love to work with at PMA. ๐ŸŽธ๐ŸŽต Fun Fact: Dan is a keen polyglot, and so far has made steps to learn French, German, Portuguese and Danish. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ #pma #music #lessons #meettheteam

We'd like to give a shout out to our Drum Student We'd like to give a shout out to our Drum Student Abraham who is a life saver! Literally! While working as a lifeguard at a leisure centre, an old gent collapsed suddenly in the gym and wasn't breathing. Abe rushed to the scene with a colleague who started performing CPR while he went and grabbed the defibrillator. They managed to use the defibrillator effectively and Abe continued to provide CPR for over 2 minutes until the man began to breathe regularly. When the paramedics arrived on the scene, they stated that without the intervention of Abe and his colleague, the man wouldn't have made it. We're pleased to hear that he is now making a full recovery in hospital. Amazing work Abe! A True Lifeguard! #pma #lifeguard #music #drums #legend
๐Ÿ’ฅ STUDENT SPOTLIGHT ๐Ÿ’ฅ Hello and welcome to ๐Ÿ’ฅ STUDENT SPOTLIGHT ๐Ÿ’ฅ Hello and welcome to today's Student Spotlight! We've got a new clip from Piano Student, Evangelos. His progress is really coming together and his teacher Mike is really pleased, here are a few words he has about Evangelos: Evangelos is a very talented young player and one of my most hardworking students. He always puts a lot of effort into his lessons and consistently surprises me with how quickly he manages to learn new material. Evangelos has recently asked if he could learn how to play 'Can't Stop Falling in Love' by Elvis and here he is performing a simple arrangement of this timeless classic.
