Unique qualification launched for music professionals

Starting in September keyboard players will be offered the chance to gain a professional qualification as a groundbreaking new course is launched.

Award-winning music college Brighton Institute of Modern Music (BIMM) will work with Brighton's City College to give students the opportunity to study a Higher Diploma Level 4 (equivalent to the first year of a degree course).

This innovative new course, which concentrates on how to improve every level of musicianship for vocational keyboard players, will start at BIMM in September and is limited to one class of 15 students only.

Ian Sillet, head of keyboards, BIMM, said: "There are exciting times ahead at BIMM for individuals who are serious about a career in keyboards. This course is for 'real' organic players, strictly no computers or music IT! This is for live musicians and features real piano, organ, hammond and analogue synths, back to the old-school!"

Ian has much experience in the music business, his bands were signed to East West Records, he has played with named artists as a session keyboard player, worked for Yamaha and Roland as a keyboard demonstrator and with Sir Paul McCartney, Mark Knopler, Joan Armatrading, Sugababes and many more.
