My son has been with Mango Music for 7 years or so. He started on bass and is now playing guitar. Mango has always made music fun and accessible. My son has stayed interested because the teaching style suits the pupil so he steadily improves with the right amount of expectation on all sides. Would fully endorse this music school. More...

My so has been attending drum lessons for the past year. The weekly sessions would have been brilliant on their own, but throw in the monthly band practice with other instruments and the concert and it's a winning combination.

The teaching is incredible, you can really have any kind of lesson you want and Johnny will always be happy to accommodate. Whether I want to work on my theory knowledge or just practice some of my favourite riffs, he is happy to help me however he can. Lost count of the number of songs Johnny has actually gone and learnt in order to teach me them next week! Really engaging teacher and an all-round genuine guy, definitely recommended! More...

This service is incredible! It helped me learn songs I wanted to play and helped me improvise on my bass! Plus, I was taught the practical use of theory, so it actually makes sense! I couldn't recommend this service higher - I am now a better musician. More...

I found mango rhythms through Gumtree when I was searching for guitar lessons in Glasgow. They are based close to me in the West End and are well priced. Johnny is a great teacher and I'd recommend him and mango rhythms highly. More...

The guitar, whether electric or acoustic, is the instrument everyone loves to play. It is such a diverse instrument and highly satisfying even played at its simplest. It can be whipped out at a party to play your favourite songs at any moment. One of the great things about learning guitar is once you have learned only three chords you can play most of your favourite songs.
Once you have learned a little from taking guitar lessons, Glasgow provides many opportunities for you to perform your talent.
