Reviews of Chetham's School of Music

Educating young students and children who have already demonstrated a high level of skills and capabilities after years of dedication to their craft. On stage, they're treated, and behave as professionals; given opportunities to perform in fabulous performance spaces where mistakes can be made in a safety. And the rest of the time, well, they're just children.

♫ Alexandra Whittingham ♫🎸✨ I've been listening to new albums repeatedly. I wanted to play the sound by replacing the Augustine Legal Blue Strings on the classical guitar I got from my uncle who passed away. I would like to study classical guitar while watching your YouTube.

Brilliant school for gifted musician. One of the best school my daughter ever attended.

This review is actually for the piano summer school I attended twice. I would give five stars for the outstanding experience I had with the teachers who gave me my lessons. However, I was "used" quite disrespectfully, having being contacted at the last minute before attending to pick up other pianists from the station. This made me feel like second best, which damaged my pride, being a serious pianist at the time. Also, the guy at reception said to me "are you a helper" which made me very angry. I will never attend this shameful summer school again.

I had most wonderful and inspiring time in Chatham's Summer School. I am full of new ideas and passion for learning. Thank you everyone in the School for creating warm and friendly family like environment.

My son attends the school and in his own words describes it as "a really happy environment". The teachers are incredibly committed, the children are always smiling and the music and choir concerts are outstanding. We feel very lucky to be part of such an amazing school.

My son was the first Brazilian child to study at Chethams and from there he went straight to Royal College with free scholarship. He had a wonderful violin teacher Jan Repko who changed his life. And all tutors were great. Indeed Chethams is a high class school and my son was lucky to had been part of it.

Such a beautiful venue. Hidden behind old stone walls, you might have no idea that Chetham's has a maze of historic rooms, including the oldest public library in the English speaking world (which looks like it should have been used for the Harry Potter movies!) I particularly loved the original printing press with individual metal letters, and the books chained to their shelves. Well worth a visit.

My husband and I recently attended a recital at Chetham's School of Music. We were received warmly by staff and pupils and were impressed by the respectful interaction between those staff and pupils. It was delightful experience and a chance to marvel at the skill of the young people currently at the school. We look forward to further visits.

As a Trustee of the School I am have the opportunity to visit and interact with staff and pupils on a regular basis. I am always impressed by the enthusiasm of all the pupils and staff. The music focus means that everyone really wants to be there - an unusual phenomena!

An amazing library and banqueting hall dating back over 500 years, hidden away by Victoria station. Lucky enough to be fed and entertained in the banqueting hall and given a brief tour of the amazing library. It is open to the public, but check first as sometimes availability might cause closure. Awesome environment, and collection of books and prints from the 16th Century, including a first edition of Newtons' clever little maths book. Try to visit.

I was there for the piano summer school in August. Amazing facilities and wonderful staff.

Chetham's is a wonderful place that feels a little bit like Hobbiton. The majority of people visit strictly for the library, however, they also cater for events. Which is worth bearing in mind. I attended a dinner that was set in the Baronial hall, the food was excellent, but the setting created the atmosphere of a sumptuous mediaeval feast. Compared to other dinners that I have attended in Manchester as various hotels etc, it was a class apart. But the real prize is the library. It is a bibliophile’s dream. The library is the ‘oldest public library’ in England. With the real prize, for me, being the reading room. If you are a history lover, you will get to sit in the alcove where Karl Marx met with Friedrich Engels. This was only narrowly eclipsed by a 1st Edition of the ‘Principia Mathematica’ by Newton. It was a wonderful experience tucked away right in the heart of Manchester. If you get chance go and have a look!

I am member of the schools Humphrey Chetham Club, and have attended a number of events in the schools historic buildings in Manchester and at the schools concert at the Royal Festival Hall, London, I believe the school provides a unique opportunity for gifted young individuals to excel in their chosen area of music, the new school building has definitely made the school a world class centre of excellence and with every visit I am impressed by the students and staff and the feeling of belonging to a special institution they all show in abundance.

I went to a Google City Experts meet here a few months back where we were toured around the building, the amount of history and unique stories are fascinating, a really lovely experience and definitely worth the visit!
