A fabulous place! Talented, enthusiastic and friendly teachers who inspire confidence in their students. The Music Place is a gem in the heart of Altrincham. Both my kids have been having lessons here for several years and they thoroughly enjoy it. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Singing every week with a large group of other people out to enjoy themselves - who wouldn't want to do that? No pre-recorded karaoke backing tracks either - we sing with great musicians and are guided by the inimitable energy and talent that is Clare. In a life full of deadlines and checking if my energy supplier is ripping me off - singing at the fabulous Cinnamon Club with The Music Place, keeps me connected to what life is really about.

I've been learning jazz piano at The Music Place for just over a year now. It's conveniently located in the centre of Altrincham and open late in the evenings which is great for lessons outside of work hours. All of the staff are really helpful and the teaching quality is excellent. Highly recommended.
