What Performing Musician students had to say:

* ATM is the only college in England that is serious about music and everything that goes with it.


* It's a brilliant way to meet other musicians, make contacts and improve your all round musicianship.


* I really really wanted to play in a band but was too shy. I have been here 6 months and confidence is 110% better!


* If you want a music based course ATM is the place to look. It is devoted to music.


* I recommend an ATM course to any singer/musician because it really helps you develop your instrument to a professional standard and the qualification at the end will really help you to get a career in the music industry.


* This is the best thing I have ever embarked upon!
