"If you haven't visited Pachyderm Music Lab, you are missing out! I have participated in 2 Lady Rockstars classes and the experience I had was amazing! I met cool women, learned to love and play guitar, and got to play a gig with our very own girl band! #bucketlist!"
-Melissa P.
School Principal
"I attended a Lady Rockstars event and it was not what I expected in the best way possible. Not only did we learn to play a song on the guitar, but we all bonded and spoke openly about being women in today's world. It was powerful and I loved every minute of it!"

What makes us different from other music schools?
Playing music should relieve stress, not cause it. When you look at a lot of the other popular programs, they can be overwhelming.
Some key differences are:
-
a genuine connection as we tap into emotion and expression.
-
Alternative solutions so EVERYONE can play a song regardless experience.
-
Simple breakdowns of all aspects of a song including solos and singing.
-
Learning HOW to practice.
-
Gentle approach creates space for growth.
-
Music programs for parents and kids that sing to their inner rockstar
-
Motivation to step into your power and use your voice.
-
Pricing and programs that cater to all folks regardless of their socio-economic status
-
A supportive and encouraging community.
"Super great teachers, amazing price and awesome space!"
-Rachael B.

"Lady Rockstars was such fun! What a rush! Channel your inner rockstar and join a class! Krystle is a fantastic teacher and an even better leader in your journey! I had a blast."
-Pam S.
Accountant
What's the deal with all the girl power?
Women are underrepresented in music and every where else and it’s time to turn the tables.
Music gave Krystle (PML's owner) her power back.
It’s her life’s purpose to spread the word.
She actually gave a TEDx Talk about it.
The planet is better when there is a balance of power. It’s been out of whack for far too long and you can help shift women into an awakening.
"Krystle is one of the most creative people I know! She is providing a wonderfully stimulating learning experience for young and old alike."
-Wendy S.
Artist
"Krystle is one of those rare folks who puts their heart and soul out there, creating and sharing, standing naked before the world, hoping that the work that they do will change just one life—just one, and that would make it all worth it. This woman...this warrior, she is changing MANY lives."
-Sarah K.
Writer & Yoga Instructor
