Location:

Manchester MIDI School is located at Bexley Chambers, 1-3 Bexley Square Manchester, M3 6DB. There is no better city to be in than Manchester if you want to live 'the music life'. The city is large enough to accommodate all tastes and musical styles, with the finest club and live gig circuit in the North. But the beauty of the city is that it is also small enough for these scenes to overlap and blend. In Manchester, in a positive way, everybody knows everybody. The House people socialise with the Drum & Bass crowd, Indie and electro fans.
