Danni Jay Music Studios

25/09/2025

Well the time came that the lights turned off for the last time in our Tamworth studio last week. It was quite devestating to see our beautiful studio empty of all the personality and fun that each of you brought into the space.

It was an incredibly fast turn around without the opportunity to say goodbye to every student face to face 😢 please know that every single person who has come through our door has been cherished and it has been my honour to be a part of your music journey.

Remember its not over, online lessons will be back up and running soon and workshops will happen annually in the area so please stay tuned for those updates!

Brisbane students: if you would like to reconnect the first place you can find me is at Tarragindi Music Studios. There is more announcements to come so please reach out to find a location that suits you best!

Thank you to all students past and present for your understanding in my families circumstances. It is not lost on me the absolute honour it is for me to share a safe space in your ability to grow and learn in music and the fun and discipline we find over the years.

Yours in music always (regardless of distance)
