Hi! We’re Dave and Laura and we own Mannin Music Limited. We’re both classically trained musicians, who have been working full time as musicians, teachers and sound engineers (well just Dave on that one!) since we graduated. We set up Mannin Music in 2012 as a music education business, and since then we’ve kept on expanding. We work with a team of fantastic music tutors, and we all currently teach music to 600 children a week through individual lessons, group instrumental lessons, The Rock Project, Mini Musicians, and various community music projects.
Our experience as musicians and teachers has made us really understand the need for a music shop on Island, and our aim is for this shop to be a service to benefit all of the Island’s musicians. We want to stock essential supplies for all musicians, but we also want to be somewhere that people can go for musical advice, and a hub for the many amazing and diverse music communities that exist on Island.
As well as instrumental supplies and accessories, beginner instruments and sheet music, we offer the following services:
- 2nd hand instrument sales
- A rent to buy scheme on beginner instruments
- Instrument and electronic repairs and servicing
- Workshops and masterclasses
- A fully-equipped rehearsal and teaching room
- Listings of private music teachers and music organisations and businesses
