I can’t thank these guys enough for taking on my son Callum in January for a weeks work experience in his S4 year at school. They gave him a great insight into their curriculum & he was blown away by the guitar class that he was able to attend. His goal now is to get the grades he needs to apply in the future. Thank you More...

AMS for me is the right place where to start (or re-start) a professional path in the music industry, especially if you have been out of it (and out of studies) for a while and you have started thinking that it's too late now. .. Not only is their way to teach really effective and targeted to maximise the results, but - even more importantly - teachers and all the people at AMS are really capable to support you in any way possible, giving you back the confidence to succeed in case you've lost it with their friendly and always positive approach.

I've been recording stuff since about 1980, and I can honestly say this has been the best recording experience of them all. Dave really knows his pro tools, and he's made my songs come alive. I love the final product, and am already looking forward to recording there again. Very highly recommended. More...

Cut my first solo album with this legend. Accommodating, nurturing, a good laugh, and best of all he makes the best cuppa this side of Woolston! 5* isn't high enough!

We recorded here in 2014 and experienced excellent service, great equipment and informed hardworking staff dedicated to getting us the sound we wanted to hear. Certainly a cut above and would certainly recommend this place to record a demo or album..very reasonably priced as well. More...

Son isnot there yet, but rearing to go for September .. we have been to the open day twice, and both times the welcome speeches were truly inspirational, in fact: both my husband and I came out wanting to enrol ourselves . .. I have never heard anything so engaging for our son... not a natural academic- it could have been written specifically with him as an audience in mind. I have always been sceptical of non academics attending uni - But I just know this is going to be a fantastic learning experience and lifetime opportunity for him . #feelingpositive #firstimpressions More...

My son came to one of the ACM open days last year - enrolled for the part time band camp course and now the summer school in August. He now knows what he wants to do, where he wants to be and what he needs to achieve to get there!! Thank you Roger and the team for offering the insight into your world - we have a very focused 15year old grade 6 guitarist who knows EXACTLY where he wants to be !!!!! More...

Having completed the BA in performance in 2010, I met some amazing people during my time at ACM (e.g. Sheryl Ryan - great girl all together). Five years on, I am the founding director at the 'National Stage' in Ireland and have written two musicals; one of which has been presented on Broadway. I have so much more to achieve, but I don't think I would have had the attitude, resilliance or creativity if I hadn't have learned so much about the industry or had my entrepreneurialism realised in the first place. No music college will hand you a career but ACM certainly gave me the tools to make it happen! Thanks ACM. More...

I did the business degree to learn how to market myself and understand the industry. I'm now living in LA, endorsed by Roland keyboards and play Vegas hotels, big corporate functions and get paid to tour. I taught at an academy out there and now own my very own music school and can proudly say am a fully working musician. My album comes out this summer and ive achieved all this with no hook ups or previous help other then the knowledge I learnt here and sheer hard work and determination. The business course, in my opinion is vital for all musicians. What's the point in being skilled at something that you have no idea how to make money from. Isn't that the whole point of a 'career' . this school isn't going to make you famous but they will give you all the skills you need to make your own destiny. Good luck! Xx More...
