I love it. It's one of my favorite places to go every week, and the teachers are nice. I think it's taught me how, as a musician, how to play better, and it just helped me grow as a person too.

Arts education is, I feel, the most important kind of education. It's what helps us to learn about ourselves and to learn about each other. And it's a way of not only self-expression, but communication that I think is really fundamental.

I love having PMAC as part of the Portsmouth community to continue and enhance the appreciation of music in the area.

Since being involved with PMAC, both my spouse and I have an entire new network of friends and acquaintances. That has meant not only having others to play music with at PMAC, but also beyond, creating our own small music groups with these friends and socializing.

My sons love their teacher, love their lessons, and have improved across the board with reading music and playing the piano. It has been a confidence builder and emotional outlet.

My 9-year-old has made incredible progress in his year of lessons! His instructor is engaging and attentive, and always keeps me in the loop as to how I can support my child with practicing.

There is so much going on at PMAC. I wish I’d known about it sooner, but so grateful to have found it now. There is such a community of genuine support and opportunity to participate with people of varied interests and levels of experience.

I can’t say enough about PMAC. It’s a treasure at the end of Islington Street. Fabulous people - smiles and encouragement- My happy place.
