“This place is great! What an amazing school!” - Ricky Wilson (Singer, Kaiser Chefs)
BIMM also has musicians and tutors who regulary come to the college for lectures, masterclasses and lessons. These musicians are people who have excellent playing skills, work ethic and valuable experience, who cannot come into BIMM each week as they are touring the world or producing albums for many months. They are commited to music education and the music industry and visit when their busy schedules allow it......check out these musicians below......you will be impressed!

		Mark Richardson - Drum Tutor With multi platinum hit records from all 3 of his bands, stadium-level worldwide touring experience, Mark has a cv to envy most drummers in the world. Aged 18 his first ever gig with Little Angels was to 75,000 people at Cardiff Arms Park when they supported Bryan Adams (the next one was 90,000 at Wembley Stadium!). His later works, particularly with his current band Feeder, has seen Mark grow in skill and stature to be a truly world class player. With a powerhouse style similar to the late and great John Bonham, Mark has a wonderful reputation throughout the music business.

		Roger Kain - Vocal Tutor Roger Kain was a professional performer in popular music for over thrity years before he turned his hand to teaching and joined BIMM last year. Roger has sung at every major venue in the country, including most of the theatres in the West End of London, and has appreared on stage with some of the most influential artists of the last three decades. We are privileged to have him with us and we believe Roger’s BIMM vocals technique course is the best of it’s type in the country. In fact, it has recently been published as a book in it’s own right. "The Complete Vocal Workout, A Step-By-Step Guide To Tough Vocals" is available from well known music book publishers Sanctuary. He is a great man and a much loved teacher.
