Our Mentors

Independent Music Mentors are passionate, skilled musicians who love sharing their knowledge.

An Independent Music Mentor is more than just a teacher, more that just somebody who knows something you want to learn. Our Mentors are professional, empathetic and enthusiastic guides who listen, seek to understand you, help define your musical goals, show you how to achieve them, and help you succeed as quickly as possible.

At Independent Music Academy, we take your education very seriously. This is why we only consider experienced, highly-skilled musicians with a professional attitude, a passion for music, and an aptitude for sharing their knowledge as potential team members. Our ongoing commitment to professional development ensures that Independent Music Academy always delivers the highest standard of music education for all of our students.
