Recording studios in Manchester

“I’ve been coming here for six months now and began as a completely inexperienced novice. It was probably the best decision I’ve ever made- not only to pick up the hobby but, to have found this brilliant studio! Everyone is so lovely, encouraging, supportive and just wonderful. The instructors do a fantastic job of maintaining a very welcoming, safe and fun environment whilst also ensuring techniques and tricks are adapted to every individual’s skill level. They’re always patient and you never feel silly for asking questions or for extra demonstrations, they’re open to suggestions and encourage collaboration and feedback. If you’re new to the hobby, or looking for a different studio; I cannot recommend Asteria Studio highly enough!”

“Just had my son’s 3rd birthday at Little Bees/Studio 96 and couldn’t recommend it more. It was the easiest party ever, we just brought the cake. They sorted decoration, food and party bags (which were brilliant). The space is perfect for free play for a big group of kids and everyone loved it. Staff are so kind and helpful too. Thank you so much for the best afternoon.”

“Very impressed with the facility and the staff members charity and donation based very much worth taking a look all different programs running.. I had a tour of this place and in-depth tour and was very impressed from Dance Studio to outside turf area indoor fully sized gym basketball court inside upstairs definitely worth popping over..”

“Good location. Staff are friendly. Discount parking for the multi story car park-£11 for 24 hours. Room is clean and comfortable. Free of charge for late check out which is superb so I could get a quick shower after ran the Manchester half! Dog friendly hotel. Love it! My dog enjoyed the view.”

“My 15 year old had her septum pierced here, they were great with her and advised what size she could have to hide it at school and she was very pleased with it! 7 months on and it healed perfectly with no issues. It was cash only when we went. We showed up on the day as a walk on and she was pierced 20 minutes later. Highly recommend”

“This was a great creative space. But what's happened to it now?”

“Sarra is lovely and chats away while she works. She did exactly what I wanted. It couldn't have been any better. Perfect!”

“Great venue, ideal for yoga, dance etc. , friendly people and there is some parking opposite”

“This was my first choice for music based universities in 2023 as it is in a city that is growing every day. I am now in my final year at BIMM Institute Manchester and it has been everything I wanted and more. The lecturers are super understanding and are there for you every step of your journey including 1 to 1 tutorials. The modules that are taught give you every piece of information you will need across all subject areas.”

“My little girl came to Dawson’s, lacking confidence and not wanting me to leave the room, Miss Niomi was brilliant with her so patient, and now she enjoys dancing so much and even went on stage in front of hundreds of people for the show . Highly recommend and a million thanks to Niomi as she wouldn’t have done it without you ❤️”

“Our 8yo daughter attends Monday Acting School with Footlights and she absolutely loves it. She gets very excited to go every week because, in her own words, the class is creative and fun. She was asked to write a speech a couple of weeks ago and when she finished, she couldn't have been more proud of herself. We are delighted to see how much confidence in her abilities she has learnt in class and how much she enjoys it. We'd highly recommend Footlights Bury & thank you, Team Footlights, for your hard work and dedication.”

“Such a great place - my son had his 8th birthday party here. Staff very helpful from the start, the coach was fantastic, everyone loved it! Highly recommend - thank you again!”

“I recently attended an advanced music production course at SEM Manchester and was thoroughly impressed by the entire experience. For anyone looking to take their music production skills to the next level, I highly recommend this School. From first contact with Mark, my specific learning goals were given priority and I was put in touch with my instructor, Jordan Peacock who was simply superb at explaining complex concepts in a clear and engaging way and patient with questions and provided valuable feedback throughout the course. The course covered a wide range of advanced music production techniques and was expertly structured providing ample opportunity for hands-on practice. I certainly felt I had significantly levelled up by the end The studio space was well-equipped with professional grade software and hardware, allowing me to work with industry-standard tools and get real-world experience. I found the atmosphere at SEM Manchester really positive and encouraging. I felt very comfortable among tutors who clearly shared my passion for music production. Overall, my experience at SEM Manchester was exceptional and the skills I gained are already improving my music.”

“I too, am a 'mature student' and have thoroughly enjoyed my piano lessons over the years. I've been attending Dawson's Music School since 2012 and in that time, not only have I reached Grade 6 but have met some lovely people of all ages and abilities. I totally agree with previous comments and find the small group classes just perfect for me. I would heartily recommend giving Dawson's a call, no matter what age or experience you may or may not have.”

“I’ve been learning guitar for two months at the age of sixties and with no prior experience, and I’m really enjoying it! The Maunder’s School of Popular Music provides a welcoming and supportive environment. My teacher- Neil, is talented, patient, and great at simplifying strumming patterns and chords. Highly recommended for learners of any age!”

“This is fast becoming my favourite venue for live classical music in Manchester. The concert hall has fabulously good acoustics and is ideal for piano. At the much larger Bridgewater Hall across town, the piano is all too easily drowned out by the orchestra, or, in solo performances, it can sound like it's being played in another room. Yesterday at the Royal Northern College of Music, Feb 3, three concerts in one day! A very good 45-minute free lunchtime two-part concert of piano and tenor horn and then on came a very good young baritone William Jowett who sang Ibert's 'Quatre chansons de Don Quichotte' accompanied on piano by Hanna Csermely. Same pair popped up in more songs at the Carole Nash Recital room for another free - but shorter - concert at 6.30. Then, back in the Main Hall at 7.30, Nobuyuki Tsujii played Beethoven's Waldstein Piano Sonata and two Liszt pieces. After an interval, two Chopin Nocturnes and Chopin's Piano Sonata no 3. Tsujii is blind and has been from birth. On came this tiny little man with a beaming smile who captivated the entire hall last night. Brilliant playing. We would not let him go. He played 3 or 4 encores, I lost count. Then he closed the piano lid to signal he'd played enough. We didn't mind. We went home very happy. A truly lovely evening that I'll remember for a good while. If you get the chance, go see and hear him. You won't regret it for a second.”

“Been coming to Lucy for a year now and wouldn’t use anyone else. Always feel comfortable to change designs and Lucy always gives good ideas too! Very welcoming atmosphere! Thank you so much Lucy I can’t wait to finish my patch work sleeve with you :) xx”

“Very very very fast WiFi, a good place to come and relax with the family. A good place to come and eat food and drink refreshments. Had no problems with this place 10/10”

“I come to the studio regularly for the classes and it by far my favourite studio I have danced at. Has the most widest offering and centrally located so very easy to get to. I purchase my classes on the door and have never had a problem. Definitely recommend following their instagram to get updates on the classes schedule. If you have a chance, check out the Cuban Salsa by Smain as it is a really fun class and style.”

“What a party!!!!! Rob DJ'd at our wedding and he was amazing. He understood the crowd and the vibe and played the perfect songs all night long. We really wanted a party vibe to our wedding and the music was key. Rob had everyone up on the dance floor and dancing the night away. Thank you. Forever grateful for making the end of our day so incredible.”

“excellent Stage school, the team are fantastic with the kids and the shows are brilliant.”

“A very lovely music school with passionate and devoted teachers who constantly putting in tremendous effort to make the best of out of the little one’s potential! The little cute puppy makes the music school even more lovely! Do pat the little puppy if you happen to be there!”

“I am neither a tenant or landlord at Brentwood lettings. I am currently in the process of moving home. That process nearly came to a heart breaking stop due to a survey that had exaggerated issues that needed to be repaired in my property. Scaring my buyers to pull out and putting the whole process at risk. Having had greatly positive dealings with the guys at Brentwood before, I contacted them in a bit of a panic. The team responsible for maintenance/repairs/building projects not only reassured me that the issues would be repaired, they also surveyed the house themselves and exposed the previous survey to be inaccurate. To then go ahead and speak to my buyers to reassure them and bring them back on board, happy with the work being done is just the epitome of going above and beyond. A great team, friendly and polite. Full of advise and not an ounce of pressure to get unnecessary jobs done. These guys have my trust and future business.”

“A hidden gem, with wood carving every day of the week”

“Beautiful place and well organised hall for music students”

“Giving people the opportunity to progress in all different types of subjects. I couldn't recommend further education more. It was a turning point in my life and enabled me to progress academically and professionally. It doesn't matter if you didn't like or enjoy school college is different. Give it a go and see how you grow!## xoxo”
