This Is The Year Of Original Music!
I am laser focused on producing more original music this year than all my previous years in the business combined. Ambitious, maybe. Possible? Absolutely!
Most of the last few years has been directed toward startup costs at the new Yorkton location, renoes, and connecting with enough local artists to make anything at all. Several students are showing great promise as well so if I play this right we can build, together, a creative engine capable of producing new music and $$$ for those who produce it.
Expect big things in 2026 at Mountjoy Music Studio!
Are you cash poor but energy rich? Interested in music lessons or recording? Need a place for your band to jam? Consider putting in time at the studio helping with renovations and other odd jobs in return for studio credit! Earn services and lessons by helping the studio be all it can be. Join Mountjoy Music Studio's growing legion of labour! Even as little as an hour of basic labour a week earns you a half hour private music lesson. Down the road legion members can earn by participating on paying projects brought in by other artists.
Want to invest in local music production? Consider making a small donation ($20 a month goes a long way for these kids) to the Mountjoy Music Fund. Your generous contribution will help young artists make original music right here in Yorkton, Saskatchewan!
The long game is to convert as many students as possible into composing/recording musicians. If you want to be part of that process of making new music then directly investing in emerging local talent is how you can do it. And yes those who donate get to push notes/suggestions during production if they care to... all part of my secret plan to trick some of you into becoming fully engaged associate producers on specific projects.
Ok, this is a bit of a humble brag but I am approaching 30 regular students. My goal is to peak around 50 before summer approaches which is when most students drop off until next season!
Really enjoying teaching drums to the cadets from the 64th Field Battery 2834. Having passed all my background checks I am now officially a Civilian Music Instructor partnered with the Department of National Defence through the local cadet corps. So if I mention being a paid military specialist with a wink you'll know what I mean. If you have a kid in the cadet corps then consider joining our band, if you need your kid to join the corps first then you can register here.

Check out this original acappella track Kal laid down the other day at Mountjoy Music Studio! She's inspiring some of my other students by showing them what's possible with practice and commitment in this one of a kind creative space.

Affordable And Fun!
Productive studio time for everyone who loves music! That's what you can expect at Mountjoy Music Studio. High ceilings, great sound. Cement floors. Old school feel. I wanted to build a studio that was like I imagined when I was a kid. The high-end studios are too expensive, too formal for the development/composition stage of music making. Imperfection is the key to great content. Original, unique, unpredictable, unexplainable, enigmatic, with no way to creatively replicate, at best imitate. Welcome to the human condition. You're a one of a kind.
