Great school, friendly staff, and awesome teachers. would recommend to anyone who wants to learn an instrument. Google Reviewer⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ "What I personally love about this place is that the instructors are very kind and patient. My older brother went here for some piano lessons. Although my brother has been playing for 7 years, he wasn't good enough to be called a "professional pianist" until he came here. He learned so much and was playing like a pro in about a week! I would have to say that this music school really can help you improve your talents in a way you couldn't imagine. But see for yourself and see what I said was true." Anzhelika Bashagurova - Google Reviews⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ "We cannot say enough wonderful things about MCMS and how much they have helped our daughter grow! Suzanne Denu knows how to hold the attention of toddlers like NO other and treats each child as an individual. Every class is different-we never know what Miss Susie will bring to the table! Coming to class at MCMS has become our favorite activity to do as a family. You’re an asset to Manchester, MCMS!" Michayla Lupien - Google Reviews⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ "I have two children who have both attended MCMS for many years, first in their early childhood development programs and now through ensembles and private lessons. As a family we have had a wonderful experience at the school. The musical talent and professionalism of all the teachers we have encountered has been top notch. I feel the rates are competitive and both my children have learned and grown during our time at MCMS. I would highly recommend the school to others."
