THE REAL DEAL

THE BIMM MISSION

BIMM was conceived by Bruce Dickinson, Kevin Nixon, Damian Keyes and Sarah Clayman. Four individuals who have jointly sold over six million records worldwide and enjoyed fifty chart hits. We have the musical ability and music industry experience to share knowledge of how to have a career in music.

In our experience - as recording artists, managers, producers and A&R directors we have been lucky enough to work with some incredibly talented people in all areas of the music industry. Making records with professionals who consistently deliver hit singles and albums changes the way you think as a musician.

YOU CAN SHARE THAT EXPERIENCE
Very often musicians who love music more than anything in the world find it hard to know which way to go, or who to turn to for help. Great music education is about setting realistic and obtainable goals. It's about us not only helping you to play and sing better than you thought possible, but also to help you develop a strategy for becoming successful as a professional musician. Whether you want to be a recording artist, song-writer, music teacher, session player or simply make a living out of doing what you love to do - BIMM can help.

WHAT WE BELIEVE IN
Commitment - setting the highest standards in the class room, on stage and in the studio.
Respect - towards you and your career, great music past and present and the professionals who give up their time to be in the classroom.
Real music industry involvement - from top professionals that will benefit all the musicians at BIMM.

WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU
You must put everything you have into your work as a musician. You must take your development as seriously as we do. No one is saying that your time at BIMM will always be easy. There will be a lot of fun times but there will also be many obstacles to overcome. It's up to you to make the most out of this opportunity.

RUN BY MUSICIANS FOR MUSICIANS
However great the facilities are in a music school there are only two things that really matter to musicians who wish to be the absolute best that they can be on their instrument or voice:
the course content
the quality and experience of the tutors
