Music store changes name

A Woy Woy music store has changed its name, following a change of ownership.

Woy Woy School of Music continues to operate from the same premises as the former Peninsula Music.

"We're proud to have opened again in Woy Woy as we see it as essential for the community to have access to high quality, affordable lessons without travelling for hours," said new owner Mr Phil Byrne.

"The name has changed but we have many of the same teachers from the old business and some exciting new teachers on board in piano and drums," he said.

"We have years of experience and can really get your music lessons to the next level."

The music school has been running since 2004 and has become an institution on the Peninsula, according to Mr Byrne.

"Originally set up by Marilyn and Frank Russell, the school has taught hundreds of children and adults over the years.

"We want to continue the tradition of the business as being a fun, safe and educational place for children and adults.

"We have first-class facilities, purpose-built studios with air-conditioning and quality instruments with our latest addition, a high-quality upright piano in our studio," said Mr Byrne.

The school will be adding many more courses over the coming weeks and months including a beginner group class for adults.
