Mango Music Glasgow – Music Lessons & Workshops
We currently have 5 teaching studios in Glasgow in Giffnock in the southside of Glasgow. Our primary purpose is to provide music lessons for students across the city in a fun and interactive way. Our aim is to get you playing music right from the start. To enjoy learning, and to equip you for what you need to express yourself through music. Mango Music was born out of positive experiences of learning and playing music. We are for people to learn to play and understand music for fun, creativity & interaction. It is important that music is not just another school subject with grades, but an art form and inspiration.
Mango Music Glasgow provides instrument lessons of Bass, Guitar, Singing, Piano/Keyboard, Ukulele and Drums. We run these classes with our wonderful teachers who totally understand that music lessons should be fun and creative!
