Portsmouth Music Academy (Southsea)

Friendly staff and good teachers. Drum practice rooms could do with sprucing up a bit but that doesn't affect the quality of the teaching.

Jack is very good at helping me through my nerves

Love PMA. Been going for nearly 2 years learning the drums with Gill. They've got a few studios in the downstairs of what I think is an old bank. Parking around there is fairly easy. There's a waiting room and a reception where you can talk to someone in the know. There's music equipment you can use and the tuition is good. During lockdown, we moved to online classes (on Skype) , which worked OK and were for a reduced rate. Overall, if you're looking to learn a musical instrument, would recommend.

Had piano lessons with Mike for maybe two and a half years. His knowledge of theory is superb, it's really brought my knowledge on leaps and bounds. Highly recommend.

I’ve been learning with PMA for years now. Started with piano and switched to guitar with no difficulty. I’ve learned so much from them including songs, theory and everything you want to learn. Staff is extremely friendly and teachers are all excellent, you’ll soon get to love them as the team they are. They host plenty of events for you to take part in including events at victorious Festival where you can play on their awesome pianos. If you aren’t convinced by this review I recommend checking them out for a trial lesson. Shout out to Pete for being an excellent teacher and friend throughout my 5 years of being there! 🙌
