"What I will say is that so far I’ve had auditions at BIMM Bristol and after the Bristol assessment, I can’t see much point in going anywhere else. The course there sounds amazing and the tutors I’ve met so far were really great guys and seemed very dedicated towards making the college and course the absolutely nuts. "

"Going to this college with only a mild knowledge of the industry and average playing ability was quite daunting, but i was willing to learn and, I think, got the most out of my experience. From day one it struck me how experienced the lecturers and guests were at the college. I knew that any questions or problems i had would be sorted out by some one who knew exactly what they were dealing with. At this time aswell, it was a fairly small establishment so there was a real family atmosphere amongst the students and lecturers which gave me confidence and helped me settle in quickly. Through out the year , my playing ability improved ten fold. Studying your instrument for at least two hours a day plus practice at home makes hard not to. The live performance workshop gave me great advice on working the stage and interacting with musicians i didn’t really know well. Session styles not only braodened my knowledge and playing style but my cd collection too, and i feel i know alot more about different genres and players than ever. The industry lectures gave me information that i have taken with me and use daily in the band i am in now. All in all, if you want a stepping stone into the industry and make some great friends and contacts along the way, it has to be one of the best places to be!!! "
