Leaving a review of Maunders as unfortunately I have had to move out of Manchester so leaving the school. However, it's been wonderful to attend here & I absolutely loved my piano lessons with Ketaki. She has been the best teacher & so patient, even though I'm slower than a tortoise! So sad to be leaving. It's such a great music school, with a relaxing environment which is so important if you feel like it might be a little daunting to try out music. Highly recommend & I will be returning as soon as I return to Manchester 😀

Very good music school. My daughter is enjoying it so much so far. Her teacher, Viki, is absolutely amazing. She patiently helps my daughter improve her singing skills. We are so happy 🙂

The best  music school for kids and adults! My child has been attending this school for over four years and is always happy after each lesson. We have never had any problems, and most importantly there is always reliability! The staff is always friendly and sociable, I would definitely recommend it to people who want to try to learn or teach a child to play the piano, guitar or other instruments.
