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 great strengths lies in its team of teachers. 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 the teaching staff and the students, more akin to a form of mentorship than formal classroom teaching. Between ensemble classes and courses in jazz harmony, music theory, and arranging, IMEP trained us to become complete musicians, ready to work across different areas of the professional world.”
