The Music Centre

My 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.

My 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.

I'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!!

The music centre is an incredibly welcoming place with the friendliest staff around. As a family we have experienced both tuneful tots and regular music lessons here. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Like other reviews, lessons were cancelled last minute. When John did rearranged, they too were cancelled. This left my son upset on numerous occasions. I ended up having to cancel my payment due to too many being owed and find a new teacher for my son who would be reliable.John said he would refund me but never did until I took it up with paypal and managed to get some money back 6 months after the fact. It's such a shame as John is a good teacher but he is unreliable.

My 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.

My 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.

Took my little boy but lessons weren’t always on, paid for lessons in advance but didn’t get them all as they were rarely there. We would turn up and the place would be locked up and then we’d get an apology days later. Very inconsistent. When lessons were on they weren’t of a high quality. My little boy was doing really well with his previous teacher but unfortunately he moved away. We chose The music Centre as it was local for us but it was really disappointing. We’ve found somewhere else now and are very happy.

Fantastic 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.
