I’ve been having piano lessons for around 8 years now, and although I don’t take exams (purely for enjoyment and brain training - I’m 55!), I know I have progressed in both the piano playing part and the theory part. The teachers are highly competent and there’s a friendly atmosphere within the centre. I highly recommend The Music Centre, whether you’re looking into gaining qualifications or simply wanting to develop a new skill!

1 year agoGreat place to go and learn your chosen instrument, the teachers are very experienced and knowledgeable, it’s not just a music school it’s a friendly hub where you you can meet lots of other students with the same interests, where you can hang out chat and have a drink, what makes this place different than the rest is you actually get to put all your learning and practice into performing with the student showcase, overall superb place to go and learn highly recommended

1 year agoI have been attending singing lessons with Jo for about 16 months.
The importance of face to face lessons, whether they are vocal or instrumental, should never be underestimated: building rapport, putting you at ease, bolstering your confidence are all skills Jo has alongside her great teaching techniques. The Music Centre also has regular jam sessions and, being part of this community where students get together and perform, is encouraging and an essential part of what they offer.
Don't bother with online classes...go for the full experience at The Music Centre, Leigh.

1 year agoStarted learning piano a couple of years ago now, my tutor Lucy is brilliant and has helped me improve no end, as an adult learner with family and work commitments I do not always practise as much as I would like to but Lucy keeps me accountable and moving forward with my playing. A great place to learn and improve.

2 years agoI’ve been having guitar lessons here for 4 years and my playing has improved massively. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Always ready to listen to my requests. I have no hesitation in recommending this school with the highest regard

2 years agoI started learning drums middle of last year and love every moment of it.
My tutor, Jake, is encouraging, patient and approachable. His style of teaching uses methods tailored to my preferences and pace.
Whilst I have not been to any, the jam sessions and workshops they offer show they not only do individual lessons but encourage members to play with or in front of others if they feel comfortable to do so.
The owner, John, is very friendly and is always around to help anyone if they need it.
Cant fault a single thing!

2 years agoI've been learning piano with The Music Centre for just over a year now and my experience has been amazing. Lucy is a brilliant piano teacher and I always really look forward to my lessons. As an adult learner in my 30s, I was a little apprehensive to start piano lessons but the whole process from booking to attending my first lesson was really straightforward and now I'm so glad that I did, as it's something I'd always wanted to do. I do sometimes get nervous in lessons but Lucy is always really patient and she has helped to build my confidence so much. I couldn't recommend The Music Centre enough!

2 years agoMy boys have been with John and the team since they were 4&5! Youngest 4 on drums (could just about manage the peddles) and eldest 5 on guitar! They’re now 11&13 and on grade 6 both of them! Now ready to take on grade 7 ! I can’t tell you how much the team at the music centre are about giving the kids the best experience it’s down to who ever joins to find that for themselves ?

2 years agoMy granddaughter has guitar lessons and loves it. All the teachers are very considerate, knowledgable and extremely supportive. Their tuition and support has enabled her to play many different songs - her confidence and ability have greatly improved; she is so confident she has taken part in two of the open mic showcases at the age of 11

4 years agoI take my grandson for a drum lesson sometimes,when his parents are at work,its a very friendly place and the music teachers are very good and fun.
Jacqui Knight
4 years agoMy daughter, Amelia, has been having drum lessons for nearly 3 years and she has developed from a novice to gigging standard. The staff at The Music Centre have always been flexible and accommodating, fitting in with our hectic schedule and I can't thank John and his team enough for the effort they have put in to developing Amelia.
I also had guitar lessons for two years and progressed from just playing chords to being able to play scales, arpeggios and reading TAB music. When work permits, I will go back for more lessons.

5 years agoI've been a student at The Music Centre in Leigh for many years. Since I started, I've taken piano, singing and drums lessons and I couldn't be happier. The atmosphere and the teachers' enthusiasm, professionalism and passion for the music is outstanding! We've also done showcases with other students, and we always have so much fun! Whether you are a beginner or a professional musician, teachers will adapt their approach to your needs and goals. Brilliant place!!
Sara Asensio
5 years agoI have been taking lessons at The Music Centre for about 8 years and I have never been dissatisfied at all with the quality of service and lessons provided by any of the teachers there. I would have never reached the high standard of playing (or enjoyed it as much as I have for that matter) without the experience that this incredible centre offers.
I reccomend to anyone who is interested in learning an instrument there. ?
Daniel Pitt
5 years agoMy daughter has been having guitar lessons with John for over 5yrs now. The music centre is always professional and has a high teaching standing. They are friendly and always happy to offer advise. Even though my daughter is starting university in September we are still going to carry on the lessons online as we wouldn't trust anyone else to continue her tuition.
Leanne Bradley
5 years agoFantastic place for music tuition , staff are extremely knowledgeable and will go out of there way to ensure that you enjoy your lessons and make great progress. They also have a great range in the shop and you can try before you buy. Would not hesitate to recommend.

5 years agoMy son has been attending the music centre for drumming lessons for the past 3 years, he absolutely loves it. John is a great teacher, he quickly understood how Ethan learnt and is very patient. Described by Ethan as the best teacher he has ever had, which shows in the progress he has made. My wife also has piano lessons with John and is very happy with the progress she has made too. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and professional. We have been kept up to date throughout covid and have managed to continue online lessons whilst lockdown restrictions have been in place, and the building has been closed which we have been grateful for. Always found the team to be very accommodating and helpful.
Chris Perry
5 years agoMy daughter has been having lessons here for many years now in guitar, piano and drums and through John’s tuition it has been fantastic to see her love for and knowledge of music grow. In her own words “I wish all my teachers where like John.” They have now expanded to what has become a music store too which sells a wide variety of fantastic new and reconditioned instruments and accessories. The knowledgeable staff are on hand to answer any musical queries you may have and you are also encouraged to try before you buy to ensure you find the perfect instrument for you. The store is a very relaxed and friendly environment and i would recommend a visit to anyone regardless of your musical ability when i guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
