A New Term, A New Year

Welcome back everyone to another new term at IMS Cardiff, we are wishing everyone a very happy, successful and healthy New Year 2017.

As I’m sure you will agree, this coming year is promising to be an eventful and exciting one all over the world, but not least here in Cardiff at IMS.

Concerts at IMS Cardiff will be modified in 2017, in order to include more of our talented pupils. Our termly professional concerts will now include professional musicians alongside IMS Cardiff pupils. Stay tuned for updates!

On the 11th of February, IMS Cardiff and Kings Monkton School are hosting the European Piano Teachers Association (EPTA) piano competition 2017 Cardiff first round. We are thrilled to have competitors of all ages showcase their talent in our school. Come along for this fantastic event, all classes are open to the public!

In March, IMS Cardiff and Kings Monkton School are premiering the children’s musical Captain Cuddles, which has been specially commissioned by the Kings Monkton School. Based on a short story by Daniel Morse, a primary school pupil at Kings Monkton, Daphne and Immanuel from IMS Cardiff composed the music to the script written by Markella Vandoros, who took Daniel’s story and crafted it into a unique children’s play.

On the last weekend of April, IMS Cardiff and Kings Monkton School are hosting the South Glamorgan Festival for Young Musicians (SGFYM), one of the biggest youth music festivals in Wales. Immanuel, director of IMS Cardiff, recently took over the post of the Chair of SGFYM, and Daphne, Music Coordinator at IMS Cardiff, is the new Secretary. Over 300 children and young adults are expected to perform either in non-competitive settings or to compete for prizes. The new all-online application system makes it very convenient to enter, without filling in forms and cheques and posting. Take a look at the brand new website and get in touch if you are interested in taking advantage of our unique sponsorship opportunities!

That’s all for now, we will be back with more updates shortly.

Until then, have a lovely start of 2017!

I feel extremely fortunate to have found music teachers like Immanuel and Daphne for my children and myself. They are both talented musician who are passionate about music and keen to pass on their knowledge.

I am so pleased with the progress that my two children are making with Immanuel at IMS Cardiff.Immanuel’s lessons are... very engaging and fun which encourages my boys to want to practise and constantly improve. They have only been playing piano for a few months and they are already performing pieces and scales with both hands. Their musical theory knowledge is also developing well.After each lesson, notes are emailed to help us parents support and understand what needs to be practised ready for the next lesson.I am looking to forward to watching my boys perform in their first concert with IMS Cardiff, together with the other students.IMS Cardiff is located in Cardiff City centre which is really easy to access and has free parking.Thank you to Immanuel, Daphne and the team at IMS Cardiff.read more

Immanuel has been my tutor for over six years. I've seen his business develop a lot over that time and I've recommended... friends and their children to his business. He's a very patient and enthusiastic teacher and our lessons have kept me motivated to keep playing for a long time. He's great at remembering the music and styles you enjoy, to make recommendations on pieces and at providing feedback to help you develop further. With Immanuel I've developed from playing very simple pieces to being encouraged to now play long complex classical pieces and there's still a lot to learn from him.read more

I would recommend IMS to your children because we have been to various music teachers within the city, and eventually ,... fortunately ended up with this team of music teachers. They are very friendly with the children, and encourage and enthuse them to take interest in their music, and are very appreciative of the children's progress. The end of term concerts help the students the showcase their talents to the family. Overall, top class!!!read more

I would highly recommend IMS. We were paying for my son to have paired piano lessons in primary school and he made... hardly any progress. After 2 terms learning with Immanuel at IMS his piano playing has come on exponentially. He is confident and enjoys the piano lessons and practice and pleasure he gives by entertaining others. The tutors have high expectations and standards but are encouraging and supportive too.read more

All three of my children receive tuition from IMS and I cannot recommend it enough. All have improved enormously since... starting with them 18 months ago. Not only are the teachers talented musicians but they are very supportive and flexible. The performance opportunities they provide for their students are invaluable in increasing confidence. I feel lucky to have found such excellent music tutors.read more

I would recommend IMS to anyone. They have great tutors and a great attitude to learning. Anyone thinking of taking up... an instrument would not find a better place to learn. Thanks Immanuel and Daphne for all the help and time you gave to our son.read more
