Icmp - The Institute Of Contemporary Music Performance

The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance is widely recognised as one of Europe’s leading schools of modern music. Established over 35 years ago and located in Kilburn and Queen’s Park (West London), we have been delivering cutting-edge education in contemporary music longer than any other UK-based school. Our reputation is built on world-class teaching by industry professionals, state-of-the-art facilities, and a deep commitment to industry-focused learning. We offer a wide range of professional programmes, including 7 postgraduate Master’s degrees and undergraduate courses in Popular Music Performance, Creative Musicianship, Music Business and Entrepreneurship, Live Event Management, Music Production, Songwriting, and Digital Marketing. Our offering also includes CertHE pathways and a diverse portfolio of online and in-person short courses for guitarists, vocalists, songwriters, and aspiring producers. In 2025, we’re expanding our reach with the launch of new campuses in Leeds and Liverpool - two cities with rich musical legacies - extending our mission to inspire and develop the next generation of music industry professionals across the UK.
