Quality Music Training:


- Open to Musicians Ages 11+
Our Summer Courses are open to all musicians who are not absolute beginners on their instrument (and ages 11+). We always have a good mix of ages on our Summer Courses, so remember - you're never too old or too young to rock out!

- Live Performances
Each Summer Course is a 5-day week, consisting of dedicated tuition on your instrument (guitar, bass, drums & vocals), followed by a live performance workshop every afternoon to hone your performance skills on a stage guided by your tutors and a different special guest each day.

- Fully-equipped Teaching Spaces
In addition to our superb teaching spaces, with full PA and backline, we have put together a comprehensive collection of pro-vintage and modern equipment for all specialisms, with which the musicians at BIMM are encouraged to develop their own style and innovative approaches.

About Brighton Institute of Modern Music:

BIMM Brighton opened in 2001 and this year celebrates its 10th birthday.  It has three main buildings known as BIMM East, BIMM West and BIMM House.  BIMM House opened in September 2009 and boasts stunning new facilities.  Live performance classes are also delivered in local live programme venues.  Brighton was selected as the base for our first college because of the vibrant music and arts scene, availability of gigs, studios, record labels and artists - plus it's great to be by the sea.

All tutors at BIMM are highly skilled in their specialist area and remain actively engaged with the contemporary music industry. In addition to our superb teaching spaces, with full PA and backline, we have put together a comprehensive collection of pro-vintage and modern equipment for all specialisms, with which the musicians at BIMM are encouraged to develop their own style and innovative approaches.
