The Space

The Space is a music studio in Qormi that combines rehearsal rooms, a recording studio and one-to-one teaching under one roof. It suits bands that need a well-equipped room by the hour, solo artists who want to record an EP or album, and content creators making music videos or clips for social media. The studio describes itself as a community for artists and creators as much as a place to hire.

Qormi sits just inland from Valletta and the harbour, so the studio is handy for visitors staying in the centre. It is listed with the island's recording studios in Malta, and the capital is covered in our Valletta guide.

Rehearsal rooms

The rehearsal spaces are equipped with a PA system, in-ear monitor set-ups, tube amplifiers and a drum kit, so a band can arrive with instruments and start playing. Rehearsal space is priced at €25 an hour, which includes the PA and backline, air conditioning, bathroom and utilities, WiFi, a chill-out and smoking area and a door access code for entry.

Booking is flexible and can be made for rehearsals, recording or lessons. Visiting musicians planning a stay can compare areas in our guide to where to stay in Malta before choosing a base.

Recording, production and video

The recording studio is fitted out for EPs, albums and content creation, and the in-house producers and engineers help polish each track. Production, mixing and mastering are offered as well, with attention to sound, structure and arrangement so that tracks are ready for release.

Videography is available for music videos, live sessions and social media content, so the visuals can match the quality of the audio. Prices for recording, production and video are given on request. Artists who run their music as a business may want to read our Malta tax guide for UK nationals, and those who work for themselves from the island can see our digital nomad guide.

Lessons and workshops

Teachers at the studio give individual lessons in guitar, drums, bass and piano, for beginners and experienced players alike. Group lessons are also available, and band and ensemble workshops focus on playing together, performance technique and improvisation.

Families who are moving to Malta with children interested in music can start with our UK guide to relocating to Malta. Lessons are described as personalised, so a teacher can shape the pace around your goals, whether you want to pick up your first chords, tighten your timing on the drums or prepare songs for a gig. Prices for lessons and workshops are quoted on request through the studio.

Content creation and the wider community

Beyond traditional band work, The Space welcomes people producing content for Instagram, YouTube and TikTok. The aim is to help creators perfect their sound and build their brand in the same fully equipped, inspiring environment, whether that means recording a track, filming a live session or making a short clip to share online.

Because the same building handles rehearsal, recording, production, video and teaching, a young musician can take lessons, rehearse with friends and later record a first release without moving between venues. Visiting bands often find that useful, as it keeps a short trip simple. Our guide to Three Cities history and sights is a good companion for days off between sessions, and the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum is another popular stop on the island.
