All IMEP – Paris College of Music teachers are music professionals with brilliant and inspiring careers in their own right. Recruited globally, they all share a passion for teaching music and are actively committed to the success of their students.
While some have more than 40 years experience, they all contribute to our school’s reputation for quality and performance.
“One of IMEP’s most significant assets is its faculty. All teachers are seasoned professional musicians from France and abroad who bring to the school a wealth of experience, know-how and wisdom which would be hard to put into words. Strong relationships develop between our staff and the students, more akin to a form of mentorship than formal classroom teaching. IMEP teaches us how to become complete musicians, ready to become operational in a wide range of professional settings”.
