2023 Update: New Studio!
Shirmel Music Institute moved in mid-2022 to Sheridan Park. We're currently undergoing renovations (not during practice hours, don't worry!) to create a recording studio and add additional lesson rooms.
​
During this time, please pardon our dust.
​
We are located in front of El Super International at 34 Sherington Drive in Bluffton. Our entrance faces Highway 278, and there's plenty of parking!

We can't wait to show you around!
