My daughter has been attending guitar lessons with leighann for a few years now, and has come on leaps in bounds in that time.

My daughter looks forward to her lesson each week as Leighann is a patient, thoughtful and thorough teacher. I would highly recommend Leighann Esslemont Music for both adults and children keen on learning a new skill . Claire Gerrie
I started having lessons with the lovely Leighann last spring & if she had told me that I coul play numerous tunes, read music & play in front of people I would have laughed & said 'no way!' but I am doing all three!
My lesson flies past & Leighann makes you feel very relaxed! I would thoroughly recommend her as a music teacher. Angie Mathers

Robert loves his guitar lessons with Leighann, gets experience of such a range of music types and has done well in both his RGT exams. He got loads out of performing in the Christmas concert! Thank you! Katherine Prince
Leighann has been teaching guitar to my daughter Abby for a couple of years. Abby has come such a long way, from never wanting to do grades, to going for it. She loves her lessons, they are relaxed and fun, thank you Leighann. Karen Brunnen
Leighann has been teaching my daughter guitar since spring last year, Leannah absolutely loves her time with her, she’s come on so far with confidence and playing. Recently playing a concert before Christmas, something I didn’t think she’d ever be confident enough to do. Leighann is so good at relaxing the kids and making learning so easy for them. Her home is a relaxed and warming place to learn.
The lessons are FUN and Leannah is learning tunes she loves to listen too as well as the fundamental cords etc. Which I think is helping greatly with the speed she is coming along in the lessons. I’ve personally know Leighann since we were very very young, she is such a friendly, warm, comforting person with a real ‘coothie’ personality, an amazing musician and singer, all perfect characteristics for reaching to both adults and children. I’d highly recommend Leighann. Lynne Gerrard
Leighann is an incredible teacher! I have been a pupil of hers for nearly seven years and I’ve loved every moment! Not only is learning music a lot of fun with Leighann, but it has benefited me academically too, I’ve passed every RGT acoustic guitar exam up to grade 5 with distinction and I’m currently working towards grade 6. All thanks to Leighann!
Leighann is patient, friendly and is lovely to be around and supports pupils greatly. She’s multi-talented and incorporates; singing, live performance , song writing and other instruments (Such as electric guitars and ukulele) into her curriculum which means that pupils are left with a vast array of skills that boosts their employability and confidence.
Leighann is a phenomenal live performer with a unique voice and brilliant energy!
I’ve always been thankful for the opportunities she has given me and very much enjoy playing alongside her at open mics. I also very much appreciate how she’s helped me with my own musical endeavours. She’s helped me write and perform my own songs, assisted me with covers and helped me when I bought my first acoustic guitar and most recently my first electric guitar.
Leighann is a fantastic musician and teacher and would recommend her for absolutely anything. You won’t find much better than Leighann! Lucy Smart

I've been taking lessons fromLeighann for over 4 years, she has a excellent way of teaching and my playing has progressed further that I could have imagined. Leighann has even got me playing in fornt of others, something I never thought I'd be able to do. Jim Saunderson
I started getting guitar lessions from leighann at the age of 9! And I loved every single one!
I have achieved 4 distinctions and 1 merit in my RGT acoustic guitar exams and it is all thanks to her!
Leighann is very paitient, kind and wants you to be the best that you can be in your musical journey!
She has a relaxed and comfortable teaching environment which makes you feel right at home when you are learning.
I would highly recommend her as she has taught me everything I have needed to know about music, has given me many oppertunities to play at multiple live music venues/concerts and has given me confidence in my abilities as a musician.
Thank you x Erin Smith
