THE SOUTH WEST'S LEADING PROVIDER OF INSTRUMENTAL TUITION TO SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES

Welcome to Martin Andrew!

Martin We are delighted to welcome Martin who is our new Manager for the Exeter and Central Devon area. Martin joins our company having completed 22 years with the Royal Marine Band Service, was in charge of the Percussion Department of the RM School of Music and has qualifications in administration.

At the same time we are sorry to lose Michelle Farley Dip RCM who is stepping down as Manager but will continue to teach and work with IMS as a Co-Opted Director, advising on concert promotion. Michelle is well known and respected as a fine musician and performs in many classical concerts and shows in the South West.

Music Technology Course - A Huge Success!

GuitarThe first IMS two day LOGIC COURSE was hailed as an outstanding success! Justin Welch (ex "Elastica" & now IMS Manager) and James Atkin (lead singer with "EMF") who ran the course said of the pupils' recordings "These would not sound out of place on any MP3 player or Radio Station" By the end of the course the 10 students from South Molton Community College had confidently written, arranged and produced high quality GCSE compositions. If you would like a course at your school or college please contact Justin on 07962 205 426 or e-mail to info@imsmusic.co.uk

New Music Academy For Talented Players

Another ex IMS Devon pupil has initiated a new opportunity for Drum Kit players, Percussionists and Harpists with the launching of an Academy for talented pupils - in Austria! Jamie Smale and his wife Mona, who both play with the Graz Philharmonic Orchestra, have already held successful courses during the school holidays with pupils coming from the UK, Austria and India. Courses focus on developing high quality musical skills, theory and World Music. Jamie is also an Examiner for Trinity Guildhall in the UK.

A pupil of Michelle Farley recently performed a very challenging marimba concerto at the Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall in London to great acclaim. Edward Skull, who comes from Shaldon, was selected from hundreds of pupils for a prestigious place at the Royal College of Music and is clearly making the most of his talent and is heading for a very successful career in the music business!
