What our clients, musicians & educators say
“I thoroughly enjoyed my piano lessons at Morningside School of Music and I know many others do as well. It's a fantastic local business and does great work in the local community. My own lessons were carefully tailored to my level and interests, and the school created an encouraging and enjoyable environment in which to learn.”

“In all the time I've known the teachers at Morningside School of Music, I've been impressed by their passion for music, their dedication to their students and their ability to pass on their extensive knowledge.”

“Between constituency work and a packed schedule at Holyrood, I doubted I'd have time to keep up with guitar lessons. Morningside School of Music proved me wrong. The one-to-one tuition was patient, professional and genuinely enjoyable, and I'd happily recommend them to anyone in Edinburgh thinking about learning guitar as an adult.”

“Morningside School of Music offers an excellent approach to music education. The teaching is professional, encouraging and genuinely enjoyable. Students are supported by experienced teachers who make learning fun while helping them develop real confidence and musical ability. It is a welcoming, inspiring school, and I would recommend it highly.”

“As a music degree graduate myself, I can really appreciate the methodology they promote when teaching. I would strongly recommend Morningside School of Music to all ages. I'm sure they will help create many stars of the future.”

“The teachers are of extremely high calibre and well trained in what they do. I've always been impressed by how hard they concentrate on teaching popular music as well as classical music. The facilities are great and in an ideal location.”

“I've watched Morningside School of Music going from strength to strength over the years, and the quality of music teachers they attract is first class, as are the facilities they offer.”

“It's never too late to learn. I signed up as a complete beginner for guitar lessons in my mid-60s, having always meant to but never got round to it. Morningside School of Music teaches all ages and every level, so you always feel welcome and at ease. A day doesn't go by without me picking up my acoustic guitar. I'd highly recommend them to anyone in Edinburgh, whatever your age or experience, you won't regret it.”

“After a 20-year break from piano, watching my son enjoy his lessons gave me the push to start again. From the start, lessons were relaxed, enjoyable and tailored to what I wanted, fitting easily around a demanding schedule. Performing a duet with my son was a real highlight, and the regular chances to perform build genuine confidence. The teachers are knowledgeable, supportive, working musicians, and I'd highly recommend the school whether you're starting out or returning after years away.”

“I have been delighted with my son's progress on the bass guitar since starting lessons. Their approach to encouraging kids to form bands and get involved in music making is very appealing.”

“We've been coming to Morningside School of Music for years, and our 11-year-old son is now working towards Grade 4 guitar with Andrew. His kindness, patience and relaxed approach make even the difficult pieces feel achievable. We couldn't recommend him highly enough.”
