Independent Music Academy

My daughter and I have been having vocal lessons for the past twelve months The improvement for both of us has been amazing. Brittany is a master of making you feel relaxed and in the zone to learn. All the staff we have met makes us feel welcome. Jam nights and two concerts a year give you goals to aim for and experience.

The IMA folk really care about music, know how good it is for us, and are passionate about helping people make it part of their lives. The business is based on tailoring lessons to each student's technical needs, interests and learning style, with the aim of getting students to a level of effortless playing/singing that frees up expression. The mentors are all highly skilled, practising musicians who also have a thorough understanding of how it all works. Definitely a long way ahead of the "play this... now play this..." style of teaching!

I've been getting lessons at IMA for almost a year now - and I've improved so much. My teacher has gone above and beyond to ensure I reach my goals as a musician. IMA are also extremely affordable!! Before I began my lessons at IMA I'd gone to 3 other teachers/organisations and none were able to guide me as well, and all charged me a lot more. I enjoy my classes at IMA and don't plan on stopping anytime soon!! :)

The people at IMA make learning music an excellent and fun experience. Whether you want to talk about music theory or just want to jam, they will tailor the session to you. The staff know about so many bands, so many different styles of music. One lesson we're playing the blues and the next we're talking about Stravinsky or something. Of course, they are also structured and will progressively challenge you to be better with your instrument, as good teachers should do. Each week with my teacher makes learning music a joy, and it is something that I look forward to. And my guitar playing has gotten better and better! They are friendly, knowledgeable, and great at what they do. Give IMA a go!
